It is definitely in the pottsii complex, I would say. The pottsii complex is large and has many types in it, ranging from acuta to wibergiae, and including MANY pottsii types.

Suffice to say, you aren't going going to get a definitive ID on this beauty.

acuta is in the pottsii group? That might actually explain it! I thought it's older leaves looked a bit like my acuta, but not quite. So... How can I make this plant happy? Happier? I'm in Tasmania, Aus. It gets cold. This plant lives in my front room with the hoyas I think need more sun and warmth and no frost. It gets enough sun to make some leaves turn burgundy so I assume it's enough. So far it's in a hanging pot but lately it's shooting out tendrils upwards and I'm thinking it may want a climbing trellis instead...

I've seen several identical plants to this one in the same nursery since I bought it. Maybe I should ask where they get their stock from? Would that help narrow it down? Would they tell me?

I think they might tell you unless they figured you would stop buying theirs and go straight to the source. Or at least they might inquire for you any questions. If you can get the plant to bloom, you could get ID easier. Maybe try bloom fertilizer.

Repotting in the summer is actually ideal, as is rooting cuttings. It should do just fine.

Your garden helper is gorgeous. I, too, have a few mischevious house panthers. And many a hoya has been sampled/trampled by them.

Don't worry about the fall. A few lost leaves and crunched vines is par for the course, but new leaves and vines will replace what was lost.

It is looking great actually! No shock at all. Lost a tip of a vine, think it was crushed or chewed but the plant seems to have no ill side effects. Glad repotting in Summer is good, I have a couple getting unruly (fungii, I'm looking at you!!) and I was thinking of potting them up with something to climb. I have been tempted to pot hoya cinnamomifolia and purpureofusca together in the same pot to save space because I have been reading that they are varieties of the same thing?

Ha poor fungii! It is a very rambunctious Hoya. Mine has 4 vines grabbing on to my greenhouse metal pannels already!!

I keep reading about how awesome fungii is! Mine is pretty new but has been shooting up up up! I want to trellis it up a bit but I'm hoping to get another plant so I can pot them both up in the same pot.

Diversifolia is another fast grower. I would like it on a trellis also.

Aurorawa, I haven't heard the term "house panthers" before :D I won't tell Flansy, it will go to his (already fat) head! Flansy (Flansburgh) has helped to un pot quite a few plants, the helpful thing...

Flansy looks huge and fuzzy soft. How much does he weigh?

9 kilos :D He's a big boy! But so were his Mum and Dad.

Wow! That's 19.8 lbs. He is a big boy. My dog weighs 5 lbs and the boys-our 2 cats weigh 13 lbs each and I have always thought they were huge compared to her. But her little 5 lbs is still the boss and they know it.

Flansy is a British Shorthair, they are big heavy lumps :D The other one (Squishy) is only around 6 kilos.

Cinnamomifolia and pupureofusca will both do great (and look outstanding if you can get them to bloom at the same time) in a shared pot.

I regularly make community pots. Some of my more interesting ones are:

aff. diversifolia and sp. UT-005

waymaniae and sp. EPC 620 (both prefer drier media)

lithophytica, carmelae, lucardenasiana, sp. NS-05-240, and sp. IR-26 (prefer slightly damp media)
