Today I wanted to give you a guide on how to root Hoya cuttings. In my opinion, this is one of the most important skills you can acquire as novice Hoya grower as it will come handy many times! Knowing how to root hoyas will help you save your plant in cases of root rot, root mealybugs, and many other situations when we simply don't know what is wrong with our plant.

Hi Miro 💫 I have recently started buying just unrooted cuttings because 1)They are way cheaper and 2) Because I enjoy watching them grow and flourish in my care. I was rooting in either moss or perlite, no bag for extra humidity ~ if you aren’t gonna make it here from the beginning you won’t last is my thinking 💭 so then I started rooting directly in Pon because all my Hoyas (except the Mother Linearis plant) have all been switched to Pon so might as well start them young haha😊. I’ve had great luck so far so I’m gonna keep going with it. However, I am awaiting an unrooted cutting of Mathilde that should arrive tomorrow and I’m little scared as it’s a 2 leaf cutting so I may do the bag on that one. We shall see. Thanks again for another wonderful video. Enjoy the rest of your week. 🙏🏻💫

I’m in the US and I’ve purchased unroofed cuttings twice. The first time it was a Hoya nova ghost and it was in moss. It rooted right away just kept the moss moist. The most recent was a wilbur graves Russian Hoya and it also rooted in no time. Although it’s a slower grower than the nova ghost which grows like weeds.

I also don’t like rooting in moss because I forget to check on it…usually it’ll dry out. 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have used fluval/perlite mixture for easy rooting Hoyas. For some reason I am terrible at rooting in pon. I have used moss as well but I place my cuttings where I look at them regularly because out of sight out of mind…then we will have dried out moss…but the I run out of space. 😬 Moss/perlite mix is preferred in my prop box. I don’t have to worry about it drying out quickly. Very informative video! Thank you!

I always use perlite for my hoya and propagate them all the time. I am always successful! I do jars and glasses of perlite and cuttings and keep them in my greenhouse (it’s one of those clear covered greenhouses) in a nice big window. Recently I got some cuttings of peperomia parallel and put them in water because I was being lazy. They are not doing anything after a couple weeks so, I’m going to move them to my trusty perlite!

Awesome video Miro, thank you. My go to, which I know you don’t have easy access to but living in NZ it is easily accessible for me, is fern fibre. I love it a lot, drains water fast but holds on to moisture and because of its fibrous nature, is very airy. Hoya love it. Water used to be my go to in the early days but only occasionally do it now. I am always anxious in the transition period from water to soil and the roots adjusting to soil. It feels like a cutting needs to spend double the amount of energy first growing water roots to then grow soil roots. Moss and I are simply not best friends so have given up on that a long time ago 😂 I also do wet sticks of Hoya. While the success rate is much lower, I tend to only do it with mature ‘sticks’ and fern is again my go to or the coco coir/perlite mix you’ve talked about. Have you tried?

I mean there is proper main stem + 1 leaf or two, but additionally this long, bare vine. What to do in such case? Leave it to make roots or cut it due to rot risk? Thanks in advance!

I love using moss, even more so since I started adding #4 perlite (2 parts moss 1 part perlite) , not only does it not compress when using it long term, but adds extra air flow & makes removing the moss from the roots a snap.

Thanks, some good information and ideas. I usually root directly into pon-ish, but I'm definitely going to try the zip-lock bag technique. Since it seems to work both with and without perlite I'm wondering what the perlite brings to the party. I'm not a big perlite fan since the dust is carcinogenic, but wondered if maybe it serves some specific purpose.

Great info! I had an epic fail with a multiflora. Tried it in water, didnt root, then i just put it back in the pot and it kept falling out. I never ever saw any roots. Finally gave up. Thanks for telling me that they are hard and slow to root. I feel much better. I recently trimmed my carnosa crimson queen. It was so big and the vines were so long. I have put those cuttings in water. That plant reverted. No more variegation on most of the leaves. So i hope that some of the cuttings will have some back. The cutting are quite long, maybe 12 inches or so.

Rotting is from overwatering/moolisture retention from the soil and sometimes worsened by too little light. If you underwater, many people overwater with next watering by accident For your current/next hiya: 1) recipe foe chunky soil mix 2),knownwhat liggt is nexessary for the plant. 3) put alarm on phine to remind you to check your hiya. I lift thecpot and i never am obligated to water when my alarm rings, its a check. 4) water when needed only. Let it dry out between waterings 5) check your plants wvery few days to check for issues. Good luck!

I personally never use a ‘communal’ prop box. So many cuttings I see are from diseased plants which have been chopped up to sell because the owner has struggled with it. Who knows what gets passed between cuttings in a box? I always root and bag individually - it’s my quarantine routine. Can I mention labels? I’m sure most mis-identified plants circulating are from prop box cuttings where the owner has completed forgotten what it is, and has guessed. Really important to label everything, including a collection id if it has one.

@BasiePlants 11 ай бұрын

Yes, it is very important to label everything! I use a communal propbox when I sell my cuttings for sale, but also I usually get most of my plants in a single batch - so all the cuttings are coming from the same place. Then, in my eyes, it doesn't matter so much if I separate them or not. But that is because I usually get 2-3 shipments these days with 10-20 plants in them :D When I do get them separately, then they get their own bag/ box, depending how many hoyas are in question. Very good advice, thanks for pointing it out! I do hate when the ugliest cuttings are sold, I do not appreciate that at all. Luckily for me, I do still have very good memory and I know exactly which they are, even without a label :D And it does help that I record most of it for videos so I can always look it up in case I do forget xD But most don't do that :D

Establishing a good quarantine practise from the outset can help them prevent problems in future. I’m pleased you can remember everything you cut!

I have had luck that only few were every really badly infested. It usually happens that somehow pests find their way in later, after the plants have spent some time here.
