Description

The Hoya bilobata looks remarkably similar to the Hoya tsangii and the Hoya DS-70. All three species have foliage that is almost indistinguishable from one another, and the only way you can differentiate between the three is by looking at their blooms. The Hoya bilobata’s flowers are one of the smallest within the Hoya genus, and its leaves are hairless.

Soil
It prefers a light, airy potting soil. Make it by by putting in sphagnum moss, perlite, and orchid bark in equal proportions.
This mix will stop the roots from rotting by allowing enough drainage. You should also aim to keep the PH levels of the soil somewhere between six and seven.
This is why some horticulturists can mount their Hoyas on wood and wrap them in Sphagnum. However, without a substrate, they have to water their plants more often.
