I left my hoya outside all summer and then brought it in last week and then I noticed it covered in little orange bugs. What are they and what can I do about them. The plant is back outside for now. I sure hope it did not affect any of my other house plants. Thank you for your time. Tina

I think what you've got there is aphids, dove. They can best be controlled with insecticidal soap. Or you can simply wash them off with a strong water spray if the plant is sturdy enough to withstand it.
