Hoya Cuttings from Garden of Hayden – Carla’s Hoya Haven

Today I checked my Hoya cuttings from Garden of Hayden. Six of nine cuttings have yet to produce roots. The stratum was going dry so this could be part of the problem.

H. Glabra above is one of the first to produce some nice little roots. I noticed my hoya mix is drying out a bit fast and I’m having to water a couple times a week. I had some coconut coir and Tree Fern Fiber. I mixed them together in about equal ratios and put a little in the bottom of the planter and mixed some in with my Hoya mix. I potted H. Glabra into this mix.

H. viola also produced enough roots to pot them up. I prefer not to leave the cuttings too long in the stratum as it does have a tendency to clump at the bottom of the cup over time.

H. camphorifolia is the third one ready for potting. I used the same mix as above with the added coconut coir and fern tree fiber. My hope is that this will help add some moisture and wick it up through the mix to keep the coconut husk hydrated a little longer.

After potting them up I gave them a soak in water mixed with Rapid Start. In the end I added three new freshly potted Hoyas to my collection. On top is H. Glabra, bottom left is H. camphorifolia and bottom right is H. Viola.
