I watch the video on a channel called Maria's Garden on growing Hoyas. She used the water method but what I was amazed at if she said when you take a long Vine from a Hoya and then cut it into pieces to propagate even the peace if it's a long- tendril without a leaf will grow roots and grow into a new plant. She grows all of her own succulents and specializes in desert roses she's grown from seed or imported as seedlings from Thailand. She's located in Punta Gorda Florida. She's an amazing woman everything she sells she has grown herself. So the reason I mention it is because it's a very good propagation video. Christine I love your upbeat personality on your videos! I turned into one of your live videos a month or so ago. Keep up the great work!
Thank you Kathleen! Maria sounds really cool, will have to check her out! I haven't been able to grow a new hoya from just stems. I'd like to see that! Thank you for sharing! =)
Thank you for detailing this method! This saved my precious Mathilde cuttings that had started yellowing and losing leaves in moss. After I moved them from moss in a container to the perlite bag they finally started growing roots like crazy. I've also used moss in a bag but the perlite seemed to be the magic medium.
yay! moss can be great but it easily can hold too much water so perlite is better cause you can see the excess water and pour it out. enjoy your . mathilde!
I tried this 3 weeks ago! One with just perlite and one with potting soil. The one with potting soil did slightly better. This video was great and super informative. Thank you!
This absolutely works. I used this method with my Krimson Princess and I'm about to use it again for my new wayetii cutting that was just delivered. Thanks Christine.
Now my question is how do I plant it? I have 1 clipping with lots of roots like the last one shown at the end of the video. Trying to figure out how exactly to plant it with being so long
@@BotanicalWoman that's one of the reasons why CO2 being a cause of pollution Exedra and causing global warming it's not true. Greenhouses actually pipe in CO2 to get there plants to grow faster. Right now the CO2 level is lower than it was when the Vikings settled in Greenland and Iceland. They had to leave because of the little ice age that occurred. CO2 is plant food so if everybody's worried about global warming they need to start planting trees everywhere to absorb the CO2. In fact some scientists are saying that since ships have cleaned up particles that there are Smoke Stacks used to emit are causing lack of rain because those particles that they used to put into the atmosphere or what moisture forms around to cause a raindrop. Every raindrop has a speck of dust in it. Sore like when you take a hot shower the boister hits the mirror and condenses. Did you know farmers get a greater yield for their crops the more CO2 is in the air
Nice! I've heard about the perlite bagging method made once. I'm starting to hear alot about the soil bagging method. Thank you for this informative video. I look forward to trying this method. Seems less of a mess.
Currently bagged 3 cuttings trying to save what's left of my hoya carnosa that I accidentally killed by overwatering! Wish me luck :P Thanks for the video!
I've been thinking about propagating my Hoya for years. Now I finally made an attempt. Unfortunately before I watched the video but hopefully it will work. I put it in soil which is mostly sand, and some plastic around it. When it starts to grow I will add perlite. Don't know much about Hoyas but I think they like dry feet.
Love your videos! I have the most BEAUTIFUL & full pot of string of hearts that I made from watching one of your other videos! I’m looking forward to propagating my Hoyas now too!
Awww tahts amazing! Good work! and happy to help! Propagating is super rewarding. I just started a prop and chop series to share more of my findings! 💚💚💚
Love your videos. Sending love from India. Your string of hearts from the cutting to rooting video really helped me...i am in love with my plant (sring of heart )and its a fast grower now.
Great vid as always! I usually use spag moss and put a bag or clear container over it to create a humidity dome but I'm gonna try this next seem much simpler! Plus I like testing different methods of propagation. Have you tried leca- semi hydro? I've only propagated with them but interested in converting some of my hoya like my fishtail. If you have done semi hydro or do ever try it can you make a video!
Thank you! Moss probably works out to be the same except I really don't like trying to put the moss off the roots, i am too scared of breaking the roots. Do you soak them first? I heard that is the only way to really get it off. Yeah, let me know how it goes! I would love to hear how you feel about it. I like testing different methods too! =) I actually just bought all the materials to do a semi hydro experiment and I will be making a video about it soon. I wanted to try it with my linearis but polyneura would make a good candidate for semi hydro as well as they both like higher moisture levels. I am scared and excited about it! Have you had a lot of luck with semi hydro?
Also a great place to get Hoyas is from almost Eden Nursery in Louisiana. I have gotten a kerri a plain green one from them and it was huge I think it had like five leaves on it. A variegated Hindu rope ...a variegated kerri is going to be shipped to me at the end of the month along with five or six other voices that I don't have. They have a nice selection of Hoyas and they grow all of their Hoyas they don't import them. They also have a nice selection of other plants. I bought a zig zag cactus from them along with a Swiss cheese plant I think it's the narrow Leaf form. I also have a hoya arriving today with a couple other house plants from Gabriella Nursery in Florida I have an Australis from them and it's a gorgeous healthy plant. I made a plant haul video from the local Nursery where I found some great Hoyas I am in love with them!
Eden doesn't ship so it seems. I love my zig zag cactus or just jungle cactus in general, they are just so wild! I heard H. Australis's blooms smell amazing! I hope it blooms for you soon! If you had your hoyas for over a year and still no bloom, I recommend giving it more light or stressing it out a bit but underwatering it.
@@BotanicalWoman almost Eden does ship to me and Maryland. He has a certificate Inside the Box that shows his places inspected and he has permission to ship but if you live in Arizona California or Florida or Hawaii I think sometimes even though plants are inspected and are able to ship all across the United States they can't ship to those States but that Nursery... Almost Eden... Is a fantastic place to get a lot of different Hoya is also Gardino Nursery. I have a couple Hoya is coming from them and they do random postings so you have to check them out all the time. Almost Eden allows you to leave your email and they notify you when plants come back and stop
@@BotanicalWoman you might be thinking of Eden Nursery this Nursery is called Almost Eden in Louisiana. Also Taylor's Greenhouse in New York has Hoyas along with a nice selection of begonias but compared to Steve's leaves begonias they're only half as big but the price is 895 for all of them
I’ve found growing by water easiest. They produce strong roots when propagated in water. Never had rot. You can see them grow and roots are clean, ready to plant.
@@BotanicalWoman Cool! my new Dishidia ovata cutting are arriving tomorrow and wonder if I should follow your method? (since Dischidias are close to Hoyas, genus wise?)
Dear Botanical Woman Could you please elaborate on the part where you talk about several root points? How would you plant such a cutting? Just place the whole cutting on moist soil or cut it up into smaller pieces? 🙏
It depends on the Hoya, for some one node cuttings have grown into full plants other goes into a coma and seem to do nothing. What kind of Hoya are you propagating? If you want, connect with me on IG and send me pics so I can help further.
Botanical Woman Thank you, that is so kind. I am not currently propagating, but I thought I would try with a curtisii after seeing a post on ig about this 😊
@@Hoyalicious as a rule of thumb, small hoyas like curtisii, i don't recommend cutting down to one nodes. i say at least 4 nodes. I like to lay those down on top of the soil and lightly cover the stem.
I talk about my lights in this video czcams.com/video/GO5KEpPAFX8/video.html. I am definitely not an expert in lighting but I do know that you can use almost any type of light as a grow light, whether it is a standard light bulb, a CFL, LED, tubes, etc AS long as the kelvin is similar to daylight, which just means that is has to be 5000K or higher. And of course what you are growing matters, I only have houseplants, if you are growing vegetables you need "grow lights" for the plants to thrive as they are more intense, emitting more protons. Check out Bloom and Grow's podcast on light: bloomandgrowradio.com/growlightsleslie/. Leslie also has a great book that I have look through and it really geeks out on lights!
I just use hundred watt equivalent LED lights. I bought some floor lamps at thrift stores took the shade off and have them near my plants they are thriving with that light. Also I find strip lights for under the counter and the kitchen at Dollar General Store. They are only $7 each. I did a video on my Christmas cactus but that was basically the only light of God right above it almost touching it because I used it under the bookshelf the plants were on. I had to strip lights that I jerry-rigged so that they were right above the plants. The Christmas cactus bloom. In May and was covered with almost 30 blooms. If you click on the blue k you'll find my channel and look for the one that says Christmas cactus.
Wow, thank you for this video! Will this propagation method also work for string of turtles? I currently have mine in some damp moss in a bag under a grow light but I’m not sure if it’s a good enough environment for them!
Hi, I'm trying to save my hoya heuschkeliana from root rot with this Method, it seems like it's working. My question is when I have roots in many points, what would you suggest? Do I cut in 2 parts for example and put in hoya soil?
Thank you so much for this propagation tip and all your videos. I put some 4” and 6” Hoya Krimson Queen cuttings in a perlite bag on 7/8, now I have roots growing at every node point on each stem. Can I snip the cuttings into two pieces for planting? Will the upper roots turn into aerial roots if above the LECA? BTW I’m a semi-hydro person.
i don't know what your cutting looks like but yes i often turn my cuttings to one node cuttings and i make sure there is a leaf to each node. check out this video for my latest fav setup. =) czcams.com/video/3oOOia1QS3g/video.html
Last comment lol Do you think this method would with other epiphytic plants like orchids? I’m wondering about rescue orchids that have few, if any, leaves.
I want to say no but i have never tired to propagate an orchid and from what i understand most orchids grow kids and you divide them. there are whole channels dedicated to growing orchids.
I’m worried. I have some Hoya cuttings, beautiful Hoya (I don’t even have the name) Trying to root them in rock wool cubes (there is a you tube video using the rock wool cubes) in a cup with a little water. Well 3 leafs are turning yellow and fell off. Removed from the cup and transferred into a ziplock bag method. Hopefully this work’s. I don’t have perlite, but I have leca Clay pellets. Should I add some to the bag. I don’t want to loose this Hoya.
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to root a cutting in cacti soil, it's been two weeks and it's not doing anything...looks pretty sad! I assume it's because I'm in the desert and there is a serious lack of humidity here. I'll try the bag method. Question...when there are long enough roots, how to pot in soil? Do you lay it down so that all roots are in soil, or cut it into pieces and plant each individually? (If there are roots at different nodes on the vine.) Thanks!
I address this in some of my other Hoya propagation videos. it depends on the hoyas and the number of leaves you have on each node. for smaller leafed hoyas I recommend at least 2 leaves per cutting. large leafed ones are find with only one leaf to one node. good luck!
no i am afraid. i know there is a very slim chance a plant will grow from just a leaf even with a little stem. you can still try if you like, just don't have your hopes up. good luck
@@BotanicalWoman - thanks! I did try it and the leaf is already turning yellow. Sadly, I overwatered my hoya macrophylla and I was attempting to save it via leaf propagation. I do still have the actual plant, No leaves. It is hanging on. No squishy roots. Hoping for a comeback.
I don't know as I haven't propagated any ficus this way but I usually similar principles to propagated all my plants, high humidity, warmth...sorry can't be of more help
I had great success using this method on some carnosa cuttings I got. I’ve got a Bella cutting now, will it work just as well? Looks like quite a different plant.
I havent tried to propagate bella with this method but i have with semi hydro and its really happy there. my only concern is how will the leaves put up with the humidity in the bag? will they rot?
Hi! 😊 I bought 2 hoya cuttings, which I'm currently propagating using "the best method", which of course, works the best! Is there a recommended pot type to plant them in? Ceramic or plastic? The hoya kerrii is ready to be potted, still waiting (patiently) for the hoya carnosa compacta.
yay! honestly i put my plants in whatever i have on hand and to me it doesn't matter really. I just adjust my watering as needed. plus i tend to over water so ceramic pots in theory are better for me since they help dry out the medium but if you tend to underwater i would go with plastic. hope that helps. and frankly, i think the more important factor is your potting medium. i hope this helps.
@@BotanicalWoman It really does help! Thank you so much! In the meantime I developed another problem 😬 I also propagated a Hoya Carnosa Compacta, using your method, of which I'm convinced it's the BEST, but I got roots at both ends 😧 sooo confusing. Do you have any advice please? 🥺
@@Micronezia czcams.com/video/xF_cm1EAOWw/video.html they will do that, you just need to make sure you pot it up in the first direction. in the linked video i explain how you can tell which is the right direction. with a compacta it will be a little tricky to tell.
when you're propagating? you don't need fertilizer, if you are growing it, i would use a balance fertilizer. you need to look at the NPK when selecting a fertilizer. when growing your hoya as a baby, i really wouldn't want a lot of "p".
Botanical Woman Yes, when propagating. The only perlite that is available in stores where I’m at comes with fertilizer mix in it. Is that okay to propagate cuttings in? I’ve got some other perlite that doesn’t have fertilizer coming but it probably won’t be here for a couple weeks.
that's an interesting question I don't think I have ever wondered that. I would say as long as it not fresh growth as those are too soft and usually just turn to mush
@@BotanicalWoman thanks for the tip! I actually already did it, but my store only had one size anyway and it seems to be the bigger chunks. I also went a little nuts and I have 4 1 gallon bags going with who knows how many cuttings 😂
@@BotanicalWoman Awesome! I heard linearis are hard to propagate. I think one person here on YT has been successful. I have two linearis plants, will have to try this one day with them.
@@EVTD79 I was taking a chance as I got some through the mail and the stem began to turn yellow after a few days so in hopes of saving the little bits I had, I just threw it in the bag! and three of the 5 nodes rooted!!! yay!!!
Yes you can but I just don't prefer it because the roots tend to cling on to it making it very hard to remove when it's time to pot up. Also make sure after wetting the moss give it a good squeeze. You want damp moss only. Good luck!
I'm trying to save my heuschkeliana variegata from root rot 😭 i cut all the dead roots and have one strong root left. Will this method save my cutting? 😭😭😭
sorry to hear, you will need to "propagate" it again. this method will work or you can use semihydro like i did in this video. czcams.com/video/3oOOia1QS3g/video.html
@@BotanicalWoman lol I've been reading that thinner stem hoyas might do well by sticking them directly into designated soil mix. I had a cutting in water but looked like it was starting to rot, cut some, moved over to moss with Ziploc on top, started to rot again. Sigh! Now I moved what I could salvage into a soil mixture for hoyas. I want to love this hoya but maybe I'll just admire it through pictures or have to acquire already established one lol
This doesn't work! I initially had my hoya cutting propagating in water, it was doing fine, roots started to come out then I watched this video and seemed it'll be better when planting in soil (she mentioned it's harder for water propagated hoyas to acclimate to soil when planted), not only did all the roots fell off after 3 days some even turned black! While several of the cuttings started to develop fungus, I quickly gave them a rinse and put them back in water. I now hope they'll root again. Be careful if you want to follow this method
Botanical Woman Have you personally done it with the compacta and if so do you have a video on it? Hayley G said it doesn’t work for that so I was asking if you had any personal experience where it has worked for you
I haven't tried with that one but I have heard that it can be difficult to root, maybe try semi hydro? I have heard high success rate for propagating other hoyas that way. If you have multiple cuttings I could try both methods, bag a Hoya and semi hydro. Good luck!
thank you for sharing, it does happen. i have other videos on how i deal with mold and also, if you like, you can always trying using leca. happy growing
@@BotanicalWoman there's literally no reason for you to apologize for your own voice. That's absurd. The video is helpful, you did your job. Your pitch is your own, you shouldn't have to apologize for it.
I like your succinct style. to the point. no rambling, no personal stories. Thank you very much subscribed

sure
I can see lots of roots already on my hoya dischidia stem can i take small cuttings and plant them? Or i need to put them in bag for long roots?
i think putting them in a bag for a bit wouldn't hurt. should encourage the roots to wake up.
How do you care for your heuschkeliana variegata? What type of sunlight does it prefer and how often do you water it?
I noticed it tends to like more moisture then moist other hoyas and it likes brighter light as well because of the variegation. good luck!
I’m worried.

Well 3 leafs are turning yellow and fell off. Removed from the cup and transferred into a ziplock bag method. Hopefully this work’s. I don’t have perlite, but I have leca Clay pellets. Should I add some to the bag. I don’t want to loose this Hoya.
Watch my semi hydro vid. And then put the whole thing in high humidity. Do you have heat mat?
nice video, do you have any suggestions for affordable cuttings online? i would love to find some good hoya cuttings
What if you have huge leaves? I seem to have difficulty keeping the leaves off the bag.
Would you be able to use sphagnum moss as a "substrate" in the ziploc bag as well? 😍
Thank you!
yeah that would work as well
Thanks for the video. I'm trying to root a cutting in cacti soil, it's been two weeks and it's not doing anything...looks pretty sad! I assume it's because I'm in the desert and there is a serious lack of humidity here. I'll try the bag method. Question...when there are long enough roots, how to pot in soil? Do you lay it down so that all roots are in soil, or cut it into pieces and plant each individually? (If there are roots at different nodes on the vine.) Thanks!
I address this in some of my other Hoya propagation videos. it depends on the hoyas and the number of leaves you have on each node. for smaller leafed hoyas I recommend at least 2 leaves per cutting. large leafed ones are find with only one leaf to one node. good luck!
i dropped my hoya sunrise and a stem fell off💔 thank u so much for this
any time! sounds like you will be able to propagate it?
Would this work for an Adonsonii cutting??
Yes, add a heat mat to trick the plant thinking its summer
Great information. Can I do this with leaf cuttings? No nodes..😕
no i am afraid. i know there is a very slim chance a plant will grow from just a leaf even with a little stem. you can still try if you like, just don't have your hopes up. good luck
@@BotanicalWoman - thanks! I did try it and the leaf is already turning yellow. Sadly, I overwatered my hoya macrophylla and I was attempting to save it via leaf propagation. I do still have the actual plant, No leaves. It is hanging on. No squishy roots. Hoping for a comeback.
Hi. Thanks for sharing! Does this method work for rubber plants too?
I don't know as I haven't propagated any ficus this way but I usually similar principles to propagated all my plants, high humidity, warmth...sorry can't be of more help
I had great success using this method on some carnosa cuttings I got. I’ve got a Bella cutting now, will it work just as well? Looks like quite a different plant.
I havent tried to propagate bella with this method but i have with semi hydro and its really happy there. my only concern is how will the leaves put up with the humidity in the bag? will they rot?
Botanical Woman Thank you. I’ve been watching some of your semi-hydro videos, so might give it a try.
Hi! 😊 I bought 2 hoya cuttings, which I'm currently propagating using "the best method", which of course, works the best! Is there a recommended pot type to plant them in? Ceramic or plastic? The hoya kerrii is ready to be potted, still waiting (patiently) for the hoya carnosa compacta.
yay! honestly i put my plants in whatever i have on hand and to me it doesn't matter really. I just adjust my watering as needed. plus i tend to over water so ceramic pots in theory are better for me since they help dry out the medium but if you tend to underwater i would go with plastic. hope that helps. and frankly, i think the more important factor is your potting medium. i hope this helps.
@@BotanicalWoman It really does help! Thank you so much! In the meantime I developed another problem 😬 I also propagated a Hoya Carnosa Compacta, using your method, of which I'm convinced it's the BEST, but I got roots at both ends 😧 sooo confusing. Do you have any advice please? 🥺
@@Micronezia czcams.com/video/xF_cm1EAOWw/video.html
they will do that, you just need to make sure you pot it up in the first direction. in the linked video i explain how you can tell which is the right direction. with a compacta it will be a little tricky to tell.
@@BotanicalWoman Awesome! Thank you 🤗
Happy that I am able to help!
Is it okay to use perlite that has fertilizer in it like the one Miracle-Gro makes?
when you're propagating? you don't need fertilizer, if you are growing it, i would use a balance fertilizer. you need to look at the NPK when selecting a fertilizer. when growing your hoya as a baby, i really wouldn't want a lot of "p".
Botanical Woman Yes, when propagating. The only perlite that is available in stores where I’m at comes with fertilizer mix in it. Is that okay to propagate cuttings in? I’ve got some other perlite that doesn’t have fertilizer coming but it probably won’t be here for a couple weeks.
try it? i honestly dont know. if its not too strong, it should be fine. you just dont want it to burn the plant.
Can I reuse the perlite. Let it dry out and save it again for when I need to root another cutting?
yes! you can wash it with water or add a little hydrogen peroxide.
Can I propagate and cut from a leafless node?
ppl have said they could, i personally have never. i would see some growth but it eventually dies?
Can you propagate a SOH this way aswell?
yeah, it should work....if you want to see how I prop my SOH czcams.com/video/bWw3UBYKpdQ/video.html
Great video. How old must the hoya plant be to propagate it?
that's an interesting question I don't think I have ever wondered that. I would say as long as it not fresh growth as those are too soft and usually just turn to mush
great information. New friend Ruthie
Guess I need to go pick up some perlite!
make sure to get big ones rather then smaller grains. better air flow
@@BotanicalWoman thanks for the tip! I actually already did it, but my store only had one size anyway and it seems to be the bigger chunks. I also went a little nuts and I have 4 1 gallon bags going with who knows how many cuttings 😂
@@BotanicalWoman I only could find the small perlite, would that be fine? I already did it haha
If I want to do your preferred method, what's an alternative to those rocks?
possibly sphagnum moss
Whats the name of the hoya in the big frame? Thank you.
Do you mean in the thumb nail? thats the varigated heukroiana? (sp?)
@@BotanicalWoman Thank you!
Totally trying your bag method! Do you think its ok for small hoya species or just larger?
Yes, you can use this method for small hoyas, I did this with my linearis and it worked! =) Which hoya will you be propagating?
@@BotanicalWoman Awesome! I heard linearis are hard to propagate. I think one person here on YT has been successful. I have two linearis plants, will have to try this one day with them.
@@EVTD79 I was taking a chance as I got some through the mail and the stem began to turn yellow after a few days so in hopes of saving the little bits I had, I just threw it in the bag! and three of the 5 nodes rooted!!! yay!!!
@@EVTD79 who is the one person? I'm trying to root a cutting as well u.u
@@EVTD79 do you have any tips to propagate them?
😍😍😍
Is it possible to do the method with sphagnum moss
Yes you can but I just don't prefer it because the roots tend to cling on to it making it very hard to remove when it's time to pot up. Also make sure after wetting the moss give it a good squeeze. You want damp moss only. Good luck!
Ohh okay thank you for the tip
Could you please tell me what the plant is in your cut scenes? Such as :56. Thank you!!!
hoya wayetii variegated! I love that plant
@@BotanicalWoman Thank you so much for responding!! I've looked everywhere to find one and they're impossible to get!!
My qween love guy sis
Can you also use pumice?
I have never used pumice but from what I know about it, it has very similar properties to Perlite so why not?
I'm trying to save my heuschkeliana variegata from root rot 😭 i cut all the dead roots and have one strong root left. Will this method save my cutting? 😭😭😭
sorry to hear, you will need to "propagate" it again. this method will work or you can use semihydro like i did in this video. czcams.com/video/3oOOia1QS3g/video.html
It is much easier to simply plant your cutting right away in soil and cover it with a jar.
That's a good idea!
Any tips for linearis?
nope! lol i rooted mines in semi hydro but then they didn't grow...so....i give up
@@BotanicalWoman lol I've been reading that thinner stem hoyas might do well by sticking them directly into designated soil mix. I had a cutting in water but looked like it was starting to rot, cut some, moved over to moss with Ziploc on top, started to rot again. Sigh! Now I moved what I could salvage into a soil mixture for hoyas. I want to love this hoya but maybe I'll just admire it through pictures or have to acquire already established one lol
This doesn't work! I initially had my hoya cutting propagating in water, it was doing fine, roots started to come out then I watched this video and seemed it'll be better when planting in soil (she mentioned it's harder for water propagated hoyas to acclimate to soil when planted), not only did all the roots fell off after 3 days some even turned black! While several of the cuttings started to develop fungus, I quickly gave them a rinse and put them back in water. I now hope they'll root again. Be careful if you want to follow this method
Does this work for Hoya compacta?
yes. this method works for most hoyas
Botanical Woman Have you personally done it with the compacta and if so do you have a video on it? Hayley G said it doesn’t work for that so I was asking if you had any personal experience where it has worked for you
How to propagate hoya kerii?
I haven't tried with that one but I have heard that it can be difficult to root, maybe try semi hydro? I have heard high success rate for propagating other hoyas that way. If you have multiple cuttings I could try both methods, bag a Hoya and semi hydro. Good luck!
My hoya was moldy with this method
thank you for sharing, it does happen. i have other videos on how i deal with mold and also, if you like, you can always trying using leca. happy growing
Traduzione in italiano
You cannot "blow" air into a ziplock baggie. Prop boxes work more effectively.. Just a friendly FYI
Hi great vid , but please try to lower your voice pitch xx
Sorry! 🥰💚
@@BotanicalWoman there's literally no reason for you to apologize for your own voice. That's absurd. The video is helpful, you did your job. Your pitch is your own, you shouldn't have to apologize for it.
Hi can I repot using pumice?
