Hoya krohniana : does light shape the heart of this formely called lacunosa ?

 

Not all leaves are " really heart shaped ", some have a narrower V on top. Possibly the V is wider under more light. Also less light would make the leaves wider.

The date of germination of Hoya seeds is uncertain

Watch your pods for change in color and germination. They are unpredictable and can germinate after a few days or several weeks.

Below is a pod Hoya lacunosa  ready to germinate .
 
 

In the pictures below are seeds that have already germinated around the pod or are very close to do. ( The pod burst before we were ready to surround it with a metal thread. )
