A detailed guide to Hoya cutting propagation: even beginners can learn it easily

First, choose suitable cutting stems, cut them into 5-8 cm sections, keep 2 nodes, leave only 1-2 leaves on top, and place them in a cool, ventilated spot to let the wounds dry. Then soak the cuttings in water, or insert them directly into the medium. They usually root in 15-20 days, and after 3 months the roots are well developed and they can be planted out.

1. Cutting time: apart from winter and early spring, when low temperatures make it unsuitable, it can be done at any other time, and March to April each year is best.

2. Cutting stems: choose current-year branches from the middle to upper part that face the sun, with shorter internodes, thick and strong stems and leaves, and plump buds. Cut the branches into 5-8 cm sections, keep 2 nodes, remove the leaves that would be inserted into the medium, leave only 1-2 leaves on top, and place them in a cool, ventilated spot to let the wounds dry.

3. Cutting process: soak the branches in water, add rooting solution, and after they have soaked and rooted, insert the branches directly into the soil. Water thoroughly, then place them in a cool spot and regularly check whether the water has dried out; if the soil is dry, water it. Alternatively, insert the cuttings into the medium so that the bottom two leaves touch the surface of the medium, cover the pot with a plastic bag to increase humidity, and make one or two ventilation holes in the plastic bag.

4. After-planting care: Hoya cuttings generally root in about 15-20 days, grow new leaves after 1 month, and after 3 months the roots are well developed and they can be planted out, after which normal care is all that is needed.
