I ordered several Hoya cutting from a trustful nursery in Thailand. The cuttings are all in good condition, but I wonder about the medium they were planted it. Obviously this is coco husk that was pressed together. The roots of the cutting are thoroughly entangled with this coco propagation disk.

My question is: How should I cultivate this cutting? My idea was to put sphagnum moos underneath each propagation disk and place them on a irrigation mat ( a mat that is able to soak up the underneath water).

Can you just plant the little plug in your regular mix? I received a couple of plants from Thailand last year that were in those plugs. I wasn't able to keep them alive but I'm sure it was because I over watered and not the fault of the plug. I do better now.

I haven;t seen that. I have seen things grown in tree fern bowls like that

Hello PhytoPhil, it were mine, I will keep it as is, but will surround it with chunky orchid bark mix and clay rocks in a container with side and bottom drain holes.

That coco husk is quite commonly used in my homeland, the Philippines, and epiphytes love it a lot.

We do use coco husk usually chopped up as a substrate to mix into aroid mix, but I haven;t seen anything actually come growing in it like that

Like tarev said, leave it as it is till it grows bigger and you can cut it and plant the way you want it.

That cutting is to small and I bet the roots aren't well stable that if you try to remove that coco husk you'll end up losing that plant.

I use coconut husk chips as a potting medium and I also mix coco husk chips in with potting soil to allow for good air circulation for plant roots but I've never seen plants growing in those little compressed cups. I wouldn't try to remove it because that would cause undue stress and there's a good chance that the fine feeder roots would be damaged. I'd place that little husk with the plant intact, into a small plastic pot that has lots of drainage holes and if necessary, fill in around the sides with additional chunky media like orchid bark mix, etc. You just need to be be sure to use a pot with good drainage so that the roots have adequate air circulation and plant it at the same level it's currently growing, do not add additional potting media to the top around the main stem.

Thanks for your advices! I decided to keep it as it is and up to now it works fine.
