Hoya cuttings: choosing branches

Choose good cuttings. The mother plants for cuttings must be of good quality, strong and free of diseases and pests.

It is not advisable to choose branches that are about to bloom and branches that are growing too long.

Soak the dried branches in water, add rooting water, and plant them in pots after they have rooted.

Many small buds will grow quickly, and if the weather is warm, 3 to 4 days will be enough.

Insert the rooted branches grown hydroponically directly into the soil, water them thoroughly and place them in a cool place. Check regularly whether the water has dried up. You can spray the water at night and water them when the soil is dry.
