What is the strongest scented Hoya?

The Hoya flower is the best and most beautiful plant for a hanging basket. The leaves are green and waxy, the stems are creeping and drooping, the flowers are in the form of a white raceme with a red color in the center which makes a beautiful sight for the vase when hanging on the basket, and the nectar produced by the flowers makes the household items near the vase dirty, and the authentic Persian name (Vejik) is derived from the same meaning. This species should not be confused with Hoya (celandine), which has black leaves.

The tiny white flowers of Hoya, which appear in clusters in summer, together with the sharp green leaves give the hanging basket an interesting appearance.

Have you ever smelled Hoya?

It’s very chocolaty, somewhat musky, and perhaps even too sweet and smothering for some.

Hoya carnosa is my most widespread variety. The smell depends on the temperature of the room. At +24 °C, the spherical clusters of pale pink flowers with a lemon “star” and a bright raspberry “pearl” in the center give off a strong scent of chocolate, narcissus, and vanilla.

This perfume starts after seven in the evening and until seven in the morning. The higher the temperature, the brighter and cooler the chocolate component, and the stronger the narcissus notes. also for more information about How long can plumeria go without water?  click on the link

Know the problems of the Hoya plant

» The lack of nutrients, i.e. fertilizers, causes the flowers not to grow and the young leaves remain small, if there is not enough light in the plant’s location, the stems of the plant become long and the distance between 2 leaves increases and the flowers do not appear.»If the air around the plant is too cold, its leaves become pale.

If the existing flowers fall off and no new flowers appear in summer, it is a sign that the plant is too thirsty.» If the buds of the unopened plant dry up, the direct sunlight is the cause, and if the air is very dry, the leaves become pale and wrinkled.

» Excessive watering will cause the buds not to open.»If you see that the underside of the leaves is stained with cobwebs, clean the underside of the leaves with a cloth or sponge soaked in poison to eliminate the symptoms; the cause of this complication is the red mite and it decreases under humid conditions.

If the leaves become wrinkled and shriveled in winter, it means that the soil is too dry and the plant goes into hibernation.»

The cold weather causes the leaves to wilt and turn pale; the blackening of the leaves in winter is due to the cold weather, but in summer it can be caused by the use of chemical brighteners.
