Hoya lyi
Hoya lyi is native to Southeast Asia with many species indigenous to Australia. It is easy to grow and flower in a tropical climate.
This hoya is a dainty climber with oval and oblong or elliptic leaves. The flowers can vary in shades from fully white to pink with purple to pink centers and emits an amazingly sweet scent.
Leaf problems are a common concern. Yellowing leaves signal overwatering or underwatering; overwatered leaves feel mushy, while underwatered ones are dry and wrinkled. Adjusting watering habits to allow the soil to dry between waterings resolves this.
Browning leaves indicate low humidity or sunburn from excessive direct light. Increasing humidity or moving the plant to a less intense light spot prevents further browning. If the distinctive “prism” effect or leaf coloration fades, it points to insufficient light, and providing brighter indirect light restores its vibrancy.
