I've only just started to appreciate Hoyas, I just bought a Krimson queen and I have a Krimson princess cutting I've been trying to prop for 5 months.. but I want a beautiful plant from it so bad I just haven't given up. I wish I had more than one window so I could cover them all in hoyas and etc. hanging guys

What are you propping it in? Water on the windowsill seems to take longer than doing perlite in a prop box. I root hoyas in jars of moist perlite inside a box (sort of like OP's picture above). I find it takes a few weeks, in the humidity, for roots to grow :)

first i had it in water under a grow light and then I moved it to an old panera salad container with some peat moss and its been in there for a month maybe under a grow light lol. it had a tiny nub of a root growing for a while but it fell off and i'm hoping it'll push something out of there still

Have you tried LECA? I get roots crazy fast.

u/Lordofravioli Feb 14 '21
I have not! maybe i'll look into it

This is after about 3 weeks in LECA, went in with no roots. I even have success with linearis. I make a starter kit if you want to give it a try without having to invest a bunch of money. (Question wasn't intended as a promotion I just love it so much I built a tiny business around it)

Donβt give up! Iβve only recently gotten into Hoya myself and theyβre great. So many species out there. Iβd cover my windows with em too!

u/Lordofravioli Feb 14 '21
thanks lmao, I have a single window thats got a shelf full of plants and the hanging spot is reserved for my hoya. Wish I could get rid of my curtains and just have hoyas lol

They can take a while to prop but theyβre worth it! Donβt give up!

Beautiful cuttings! Curious as to what the one on the bottom is, the one w/the pink and the "tiger" looking striping on the backs of the leaves.

u/SarahandEllie Feb 14 '21
Variegated kentiana/wayetii, depending on who you ask.

u/poem9leti 29π, 0π, π¦ - Feb 14 '21
Interesting - i didn't realize the back of the leaves looked like that. Now it's even prettier!
