Nitrogen deficiencies also cause leaves to remain small, and drop prematurely, resulting in less photosynthesis occurring in the plant, and fewer, smaller tubers can form for harvest. Research done by Yara International has shown that there is a direct correlation between tuber size and yield, and the amount of plant-available nitrogen in the soil.
Hoya obscura is a fast-growing, climbing species of Hoya in the dogbane family, Apocynaceae, found in the Philippines. [1] The plant's many aerial roots (which the vine produces along its entire length) will gradually adhere to vertical surfaces nearby, such as buildings, trees or poles, acting as anchors and enabling the plant to receive better sun exposure away from the ground.
