Hoya cv Viola is a trailing plant. It has fascinating lustrous leaves and produces sweet scented flowers. Hoya Viola is produced of combining two Hoyas such as; Hoya Deykeae and Hoya Vitelina.
Like other Hoyas, Hoya Viola blooms from spurs. I did not see the actual flowers yet however, soon. I just hope that Viola will like under my care. By the way, Hoya Viola is my newest Hoya plant.
According to my research, Viola loves bright but indirect light. At this time, I put her on direct grow light like other Hoyas I have in my collection. So far, the plant stayed with her original soil. I see that the soil has well draining mix in it thus I have to water her every three days and check often to make sure that she will not be dried for so long.
Hoya Viola may have yellowing leaves, like other Hoyas, yellowing leaves is a sign of too much water. If it happens try to change the soil or mix it with other medium such as; perlite, coco-husk, vermiculite etc. that can help so that the soil will not be compacted and will drain smoothly and dry quickly.
Even though, I just brought the plant a week ago, I already propagate, this is just to make sure in case something happen to the plant.
So far the cuttings are placed on the water, I will update soon as roots are started to come out.
