I had a few leaves come off my zz plant. I put them in perlite and they grew roots. I potted them and Planta calls them Hoyas but they’re not. How do I change it so I get the right info?

Go to settings for that plant. Go down to plant type. Change from there.  
I think this is correct. Have only done it a couple times.

You can also go to your Zz plant and choose propagate and make a new listing from that
