| A friend asked me the other day about her "Hoya" plant. It is growing in a pot and doing quite well. Apparently it is about 30 years old and has had various "reinventions" having been in pots and in the ground through different homes. It flowers well and has a strong perfume. All is good. Last year and this it has apparently grown what looks similar to a mango and I assume is a seed pod. There are about 4 or 5 "pods" on the plant. Can someone please advise? Also, if seed, can we grow from these? How do we multiply this plant for her? Thanks. Daniel |

| Sure it's a Hoya? Hoyas are one of the easiest to grow from cuttings, everything from a leaf with a bit node to a good stem cutting. It's one of the few I can do successfully and with little effort!! They have heads of flowers which grow on the same short pedicles(?) every year so I am surprised it has such a large seed pod. But if it's seeds, they should grow. |

Thanks Annabel! I will pass that on to her!
Happy New Year! |

| Hi. My friend actually has one of these plants, and it's not a hoya but something called a stephanotis. It's a type of jasmine, which would explain the perfume. My friends plant has the 'seed pods' on at the moment too. Hope this helps. Kat |
