These are the 2 little unrooted cuttings of Hoya retusa I got (on the right) earlier this season. I think they have rooted in moss. AT least they are not dead. I am going to leave them in this until I am certain.

And the linnearis I got as a single strand unrooted cutting earlier as also rooted and made 2 new strands!

Yay! Roots are very good. I have a very small Retusa that I keep in a 10 gallon aquarium until it gets a little bigger. Love this little guy.

Thumbs up Gina, I know the Wax Plant (Hoya retusa) will take off and thrive under your care!

Such a good feeling when a cutting goes on to become a plant! Congrats.

Congrats on growing that Linearis. It's considered one of the most difficult Hoya to grow. How'd you do it?

I have to that you again for sending it to me @Sprouquita. I didn't really do anything other than try to root it the same way I always do most of them...I used my aroid mix LOL. Its a really fast draining mix that has bark, aliflor, peat, perlite and chopped coconut husk. I kept it moist but not wet, and it was extremely humid out there (still is).
