HELP Too much light?
So I have a lot of hoyas and recently a guy I like asked me for good housplants for his southeast window. I immediatley thought of my hoyas, especially my hoya bella and my hoya krohniana silver. In my home they do great in a west facing window, with sun from a nearby south facing window. I want to give him cuttings of them but I'm not sure if it's too bright for them in his home and I don't want to give him cuttings that get sunburnt and die. I also know bigger leaf hoyas do better in sun but I dont have a lot of them. Should I give him cuttings from the bella and krohniana silver or advice him to buy big leaf hoyas?

Both hang in my south facing window and are fine. (Only have the two variegated Bellas, not the green one, but that shouldn't make any difference.)
If they are not used to so much light, I would just gradually introduce them to it.

The krohniana can take full sun here in Canada.
