Yes, Hoya carnosa can be grown from viable seeds, although seed propagation is less common than stem-cutting propagation. Fresh seeds are important for successful germination. Confirm that your package contains genuine Hoya carnosa seeds and follow the supplier's specific germination instructions.
Some Hoya varieties develop reddish or burgundy foliage tones when exposed to suitable bright light. The intensity of the color depends on the cultivar, light conditions, and plant maturity. Provide bright indirect light and avoid excessive direct sunlight that can scorch the leaves.
Hoya carnosa may not flower when it is too young, receives insufficient bright light, or experiences unsuitable growing conditions. Mature plants generally benefit from consistent care, appropriate light, and careful watering. Avoid removing old flower spurs because Hoyas can produce new flower clusters from the same spurs.
