Oh my heavens! I ordered a Hoya ‘Krinkle 8’, and imagine my surprise when it arrived and the seller had included a Hoya ‘Obovata’ cutting as a freebie!!! I’m thrilled with them both!!

The hoya Obovata propagates well in water. I’ve had a cutting in a small yoghurt jar a couple of years and it has put out a lot of leaves and roots.

Good to know! I’ve got it in water now. I can hardly wait for it to put out roots!!

Thank you. I started adding diluted fertilizer and SuperThrive plant vitamins when the first roots appeared. It really likes it.
