    I have a seed pod on a Hoya plant, how do I plant the seeds when it opens?

    Thank you so much for the info, the seed pod still hasn't opened.

    This is a seed pod, it's about 6" long and dark brown. This plant is growing year round outside on my patio.

    Like Barb, I did not know that Hoyas produced seed pods---not ones this shape and size! Wow.
    Hey dpedone, found this video and thought that it would be of interest:

    I have 3 hoyas started from tiny cuttings. 2 of these have bloomed for me recently. (I was thrilled!) My first experience with them, so thanks for bringing this to my attention. Maybe someday I will have a pod too!
    Good luck with the seeds.
