Germination time: 7-10 Days For germination temperature: 20-25 Celsius Lighting - a north window is a good location. Although the plants do not require direct light, they would not do well away from a window, unless you prefer to grow them under fluorescent grow lights. Supply all but the hottest sun. Soil - a moist, well-drained, light soil - African Violet soil with some added perlite - is a good growing medium. Watering - keep the soil moist in spring and summer, dry but not to the point of shriveled foliage in winter. In dry climates more frequent watering may be necessary. Temperature - give them medium (50 degrees) to warm temperatures during the growing season-spring and summer. The plants go semi-dormant in winter. Fertilizer - In spring hoyas react favorably to feeding. A liquid food, about every four weeks, three or four times during the growing season will produce a vigorous growth. Withhold food during the winter
