How To Propagate Hoya

[@emilyobrien9949]

Okay, I died and came back to life when you said "in food network fashion" and pulled out a second jar. Amazing.

[@lindam9018]

Great way to do it because we also get to see the results.

[@Dollsanity]

Get your sponsorship coin Nick! 🙌🏾

[@terabizzle]

hi Nick! first time checking out your vids here :) i just wanted to say thank you so so so much for being so clear, explanation, and articulate. i purchased my first hoya and have been digging through youtube/reddit/google for hoursSS in search of some hoya info, specifically on propagating. this is by far the best video i’ve seen all day!!

[@melissaking3481]

This is great Thanks, Nick. I have just fallen down the rabbit hole with hoya and in 2 months went from 1 to 15. LOL (full steam Hoya ahead) LOL So instead of buying more. I can now propagate and 'plant them forward' to my friends and share my love for a different species of plant. Have a great weekend.

[@frasercook5823]

I find the best method for me is in sphagnum moss into a closed terrarium tank over a heat mat. This replicates the heat, humidity, moisture of the wild. Works well for me as some are more unknown on the market.

[@marcelfr90]

You need cut the bush down a little bit, mate. It looks weird on an effie.

[@maynardsrevenge]

Do you put the heat mat inside or under the tank?

[@corydeguzman2348]

i love how you express yourself and i inspire me to buy the so called LECA.. thanks

[@friday3592]

i just moved out of my parents house and now for the first time in my life I have more than one window to put plants in 😅 I've been propagating Hoyas and pothos like crazy but I've been binging your vids today and I'm so excited to fill my little house with a bunch of different plants! Hoyas are still my absolute faves tho 🥰

[@PuffyTacos]

Congrats on your sponsorship! You deserve it!

[@kristen7067]

Congrats on the sponsorship! And thanks for such a helpful video, I was panicking when I received some expensive hoya cuttings in the mail and wasn’t sure if they had nodes and would grow. Now I feel much more calm!! Thanks :)

[@diannh2894]

The leca helps keeping it in place too!

[@aaddwwaann]

Just put the snips in my shopping cart. Glad you get sponsership!

[@milenataylor2]

I am so happy you made this video. I recently acquired a Krimson Princess and it’s huge. I wanna propagate it and give to my mom and sister. So perfect video for me!!!!

[@bluebeeboo]

I don't have my hoya yet, but my first one is coming in a few more days. I'm excited 😭

[@kellyhamergia]

You are my fave plant guy on KZbin! I am getting into Hoya because of you.🥰

[@janinegarcia995]

Its amazing how I was just thinking of rooting my hoya in LECA and you post a video about it! Such an informative video. Thank you!!

[@MatthewEncina]

Thanks for sharing Nick. Will this still work if the node/stem doesn't have any leaves? I have a variegated Hoya, and the leaves were all white and fell off. I'd like to bring it back to life.

[@jamiehou9448]

Hi! In theory that could work, but in practice its a lot less successful. It is because, there's no leaves to photosynthesize, so the plant is 100% reliant on the stem to photosynthesize and produce energy for growth which, isn't a lot of energy so you're going to really have to baby that plant.

[@jackienagy3038]

Wouldn’t hurt to try. I’ve successfully rooted leafless stems on carnosa. Saw a video on KZbin of a woman who said she never throws stems away so I tried and they all worked.

[@snakeplissken1752]

@@jackienagy3038 how deep would you pot the hoya stem Nick showed in the video? (The one with all the roots) Would you only cover the part with the roots, or put it a bit deeper?

[@jackienagy3038]

@@snakeplissken1752 just to cover the roots

[@cactusrose9601]

You are adorable, Nick! This video was exactly what I needed. Thx

[@flowers0fpeace]

I didn’t know hoya can grow in water indefinitely 🎉! Definitely going to try that. 💚💚💚

[@joycenotine283]

I have my hoya carnosa growing for over a year now in leca and it's really thriving.

[@usherl250]

I ordered the pruning shears, I have some for outside gardening but these will be nice for my indoor propagating, I love Hoyas and they are so easy to root.

[@lokirathehunter]

I almost always get roots all over the internode, I also only use water with no leca. And I always put a cutting of transdescantia in with them to make them root faster.

[@beyogawellwithgina4861]

Interesting about adding the tradescantia. Do you recall where you learned that and why it helps??

[@lokirathehunter]

@@beyogawellwithgina4861 tradescantia produces a lot of rooting hormone, so if you pop one of those in with your other plants, that rooting hormone ends up in the water. I don't know if that's exactly what happens but they always seem to root faster with the tradescantia

[@lisabarnes5340]

I've heard this works using pothos. Pothos root so quickly, it's thought is that their rooting releases a chemical in the water that stimulates the rooting of the desired plant.​@beyogawellwithgina4861

[@linneaburgess7087]

I've always had trouble understanding how to prop Hoya but you explained it so well I get it now thanks!

[@NewUkeNewYork]

Great, useful video! As someone who doesn’t have LECA or moss (yet), I appreciated you talking about how it would work in water without LECA, too.

[@jpadvocates]

I would like to see a video of your top 10 types of places to buy house plans as well as your top 10 actual companies or name brands to buy from.

[@leaflovelaughwmissy2334]

Thanks, Nick. I originally left the water filled to the brim with the leca. I'll pour it out now and trust the process.

[@GenerationsTogetherRecipes]

REALLY enjoyed yoyr video. Thank you. I am going to experiment with the white cotton stuff from a diaper - wet.

[@karenhart4316]

Great video Nic ! I propagated my Hoyas by cutting the leaf in half and placing it into the soil half way up and kept the soil moist , took awhile and bingo ! New plants 🌱 I was told to do it this way by fellow gardening friends and it eventually worked but your way looks easier 👍🪴☺️🧤👒🐨🦘🇦🇺

[@sgtmajfode]

Love your video and I took lots of notes to root my recent Hoya cuttings purchase!

[@moumoun7]

Thank you for the detailed directions! Very appreciated

[@meganelizabeth3900]

Do myself a favor in the future to get 5-6 long vines... inspiration I needed to (kind of maybe) think of propagating my beloved Krimson Princess.

[@skulmanHD]

I saw the leca in your glass and instantly facepalmed for not doing this before myself, thats so smart

[@madamplant]

Loved this. I just starting rooting in LECA. IT'S PRETTY!

[@carolynallen597]

Excellent video, Nick. I really enjoy the instructional type video from you!

[@targetedplantsguy9481]

I just ordered those snips. You must have had an influence on sales. They are out of stock until the 19th of April. Made my order I'm very patient. Been needing to buy them for a very long time. Loved the video.

[@tamancikalabadi]

Gunting potong sangat tajam.. berkwalitas.. untuk potong tanaman sangat cocok 👍 Trimakasih 🙏

so excited to propagate my compacta variegata, thank you for this video💗

[@grat2010]

Congratulations on the sponsorship. Was thinking about getting some.

[@neilronan444]

was just thinking about propagating some of my hoya plants! thankyou for the vid (:

[@valerieguerra471]

Do you have a video on propagating hoya carnosa compacta? ☺️

[@SpareRoomMusic12]

Thanks for this, I’m trying to save my Hoya that's suffering so I’m going to have a go.

[@josephrobertson9687]

We use the same glass yogurt containers! They're so cute

[@joannebruce5835]

good luck with the move, glad your not worried,

[@jacqualinefeehan549]

How much root growth do you need before planting in soil and what soil mix do you recommend?

[@annieanna2900]

I root mine in LECA too and is super super fast!!!

[@mwoods4608]

How much water do you put in it?

[@faithgibbs4913]

Thanks for all the great information. Loved the video.

[@prosie1968]

I’m doing a stem propagation for my albo marginata because I’m afraid to just cut it. I put spaghum in some Saran Wrap a while ago and I have roots! Now to whack it off...

[@mariapennylane]

You’re amazing!! Thanks! 🎉❤😊

[@ss84415]

Loved this video. I was on the fence about trying Leca. I just ordered some and I'm going to give it a shot

[@LilStampBug]

I haven't tried the leca rooting method but I have tried water and Spaghnum Moss and that seems to work for me the best. Thanks for sharing 🤗🤗🤗

[@triciaroy]

I had good results rooting Hoya in sphagnum.

[@dedihvang]

Does it hurt to let the stem clipping callous over?

[@judyl.1023]

Always enjoy your content, Nick. I’ve never worked with LECA, but my hoyas are propagating beautifully in pon as well.

[@drybud83]

I'm buying the clippers and subscribing to your channel. Very informative video.

[@keelyharra-shepard7079]

That's funny! Was that a glass "Oui" yogurt cup? When I first saw those I went "wow, it's a prop cup w yogurt inside!!" Delicious stuff too until they changed the flavor, but I saved ALL the jars I bought, so I have LOTS of propagation cups :)

[@TheCezase]

Thanks, Nick!

[@tamancikalabadi]

Hadir nyimak selalu 👍 tanaman cantik sekali... Trimakasih 🙏

[@katetamsyn]

I have some baby Hoya cuttings I did last week - hoping mine do as well as yours!

[@HollyAZ]

Thanks for the education!

[@stitISH]

Hi, can i propagate hoya wayetti from leaves ? thanks

[@codielane]

Thanks for the video, Nick!

[@suzanne9821]

Would a cutting with only one node be very difficult to grow? I have seen people selling them with one node and only one or two leaves.

[@suzijorgensen6545]

I'm using coco peat , wet obviously, and rooting hormone and as long as it's wet, I get good results. What do you think?

[@keelyharra-shepard7079]

Is that maybe a Rhaphidorpha decursiva in the background on the lattice?

[@geslinam9703]

Almost all of my hoyas were grown from cuttings. I immediately stuck them in soil, and misted them frequently. Most of them did fine. I have obovata cuttings on my kitchen windowsill, been growing in water for a few years, and they bloomed last year and have some buds right now.

[@carrielange2692]

my hoya has grown these crazy long vines that climb everywhere and get tangled in the blinds and anything else they can find. I swear i can watch them grow... but NO leaves on the vines. It's crazy. It gets plenty of light and the part that does have leaves looks super healthy and lush. What am I doing wrong? Should I cut those long vines off?

[@bridgetsmith2091]

Awesome video!! I love the hoya that you have, what kind is it?

[@bunnyfluffyfluffs]

if you have a stem with just roots, can you plant it and get leaves?

[@iddybiddyladybugleeza909]

In the reptile community they’re called hydro balls & are used in the bottom layer of terrariums for a bio active terrarium (I have poison dart frogs) Love your videos Have you (or anybody) used the wicking pots with leca and if so how much water? I want to try an African violet

[@dodirussel2997]

Hi Nick, when I bought my Hoya "Carnosa" I was told they are an "air plant" and I shouldn't water them. So Q. is it alright to propagate this way?

[@michellec.4994]

My hoya stem looks like it's drying out and there are no leaves on it. Should I cut it back??

[@cocosurgerow]

What kind of soil do you use for potting Hoyas ?

[@thewittyusername]

Any reason why you don't trim the lower leaves? I'd think that would make it harder to keep the node submerged. I've also noticed most (all?) of my hoya have adventitious roots along the internodes (similar to a epiprimnum) that might be helpful to point out as far as where you make your cuts. It looks like the roots are coming out of the internode and not the node itself on yours to back this up. Maybe that happened because your nodes were not submerged because of the leaves? Just a few things I noticed that might be confusing to someone new to propagating plants. I prefer the rooting hormone straight into soil method myself but to each their own 😁

[@selina4326]

In my experience the node doesn't need to be submerged. The roots grow on the internode and the new growth comes from the node ☺️ so personally I think it's best to keep the internode submerged but not the node itself. This works the best for me 🌿

[@Nevicica]

When do you change the water?

[@marcoslalinde9976]

Amazing video! Do you pot them up in humid substrate for a while or just in the same pot you have the mother plant? Thank u :)

[@mhoffmeyer7768]

I have been using perlite.... works great for me......😎💕💖❤️

[@cocosurgerow]

I like your trellis on the wall

[@sandyg8794]

Hi Nick! First of all, congrats on the centurion sponsorship! That is awesome and they look like really good little snips. I have larger pruners, different brand, that I use for my indoor plants, but sometimes they're just too big. I will look into getting some of these. Do you get credit if we order them through the link? That is a really pretty Hoya. Thank you for showing us your method of propagating Hoya in LECA!

[@YellowPineappleHoyas]

I have a Finlaysonii with a yellow brown yucky looking leaf and I'd love to chop it off, but am nervous. (the leaf turned this way after it arrived in Canada from overseas).

[@jo4550]

TIL I’m the reason why my Hoya won’t prop!! Just finished resetting them deeper into their leca cups

[@iamrenantepuyo]

Nice plants sir, i also have into Hoya. Currently i have less than 50 species in my care.

[@granthawkins9142]

Do you have a recommendation as to buy leca online?

[@curiousmind6472]

You are awesome! Great video. Ty

[@ladidadida2633]

Yes! Thank you

[@mwoods4608]

So how much water is in the leca?

[@madisson9775]

so are we re-adding water to the Leca if it dries up within the couple weeks? or will the Leca stay moist enough to root?

[@himmel1947]

love your vids 💚

[@elizabeast4]

Do you change the water out every now and then?

[@tamarad4146]

Thanks Nick!

[@angelatatasciore8559]

[@alisonpistorius7949]

Thank you that was really informative 😁😁

[@TheQueensWish]

Nick is there a length that is too long to propagate? I have a long, long piece of Obovata and placed it in water. But I’m worried it’s too long to stay hydrated while it’s trying to grow roots. What would you advise me?

[@mollyhuber932]

Can we talk about your SHIRT?? 😍

[@kathleencooper9170]

Where do you find "Lekka" idk if I spelled that correctly. Lol ✌️

[@joancoulton3206]

I use glass marble in my rooting jars so the stems don’t fall out.

[@teaaa8382]

I rooted my hoya carnosa in water more than one year ago, potted it in soil after and still no new growth What am I doing wrong??

[@werosification]

sometimes they just take a long time to start growing

[@cindyvan635]

I put some small ones out on my patio last summer, took off like crazy!!! Love being outside💖🌱💖🌱
