My text doesn't show up inside UITextView

My view controller contains an UIImageView and a UITextView below. This is my code:

#import <UIKit/UIKit.h>

@interface DescriptionViewController : UIViewController

@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UIImageView *descriptionImage;
@property (nonatomic, strong) IBOutlet UITextView *descriptionText;

@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *text;
@property (nonatomic, strong) NSString *image;

@end


@interface DescriptionViewController ()

@end

@implementation DescriptionViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad
{
    [super viewDidLoad];

    self.descriptionText = [[UITextView alloc] init];

    self.descriptionImage.image = [UIImage imageWithData:[NSData dataWithContentsOfURL:[NSURL URLWithString:self.image]]];
    self.descriptionText.text = self.text;
    NSLog(@"%@", self.descriptionText.text);
}

@end

My code doesn't show up in textview, but I can print it using NSLog.
What could be the problem ?

You're initializing a new UITextView here.-

self.descriptionText = [[UITextView alloc] init];

This way, you get a new UITextView not linked with the main view. Remove that line and make sure descriptionText is properly linked in your xib or storyboard.

However, if your intention was actually programmatically creating a new UITextView from scratch, then you'll also have to programmatically add it to your main view.
