Hoya cuttings with 2 to 3 nodes, 45 gr., from mature plants grown under natural conditions with bio-fertilizers under 50% shade. No doping with artificial growing techniques.

If requested in a note with the order it will travel with bits of a transplant gel in the carton releasing beneficial microorganisms and a rooting hormone like acid; a foliar transpiration reducing preservative from a natural source will also benefit a successful re-cultivation of this cutting. The change of setting may cause the leaves to fall off during transport : this is a normal adjustment of the plant to a change. After opening the carton we recommend that you wash briefly the stem ( and leaves if still on the stem ) and mix the gel into your soil; firmly stick the cutting in a pot containing 50|50 coarse sand and perlite or light soil ( here we use coconut bit mixes ) and moisten; cover the entire cuttings with a plastic bag or any transparent dome.

An ideal setting comprises constant temperature and constant high humidity - avoid air flows ! - and enough light. Humidifiers are useful accessories in rooms growing tropical plants. The most common causes of problems are fluctuations in temperature and humidity ranges, over watering, over fertilizing.

The use of a plastic bag, dome, glasshouse etc without watering is strongly advised for non rooted cuttings until new green shoots are coming and rooting has expanded : a too long period inside these devices may trigger fungi so attention is required. It may be useful to inoculate the soil with beneficial colonies of Mycorrhizae endospores that will prevent rot driven by the fungus phytophthora ( black rot ). Such endomycorrhizae inoculants will also improve the root system, help keep humidity at a good level and benefit the health of the plants. Keep the pot in a medium-light room until rooting has expanded, which is about two weeks or more. Uncover and water sparingly until new growth appears, then begin regular fertilization schedules. Do not move the plant position, do not move the pot during the re-starting period.
