# Hi! I’m new to plants. I got this cutting and I’m wondering if anyone…

_Posted by GurreT on 2023-02-15_

Hi! I’m new to plants. I got this cutting and I’m wondering if anyone can help me identify it for me? And what do I do with it now? Can I just put it in soil?  
Thank you!

It looks like a Hoya Macrophylla variegata to me.

Thank you so much! I heard That they can flower. I hope it will survive 💕

Yes, Hoya Macrophylla it is. I’ve recently acquired this cutting and have used rooting hormone to grow this into a plant. It is very slow process so far. You could also water propagate it. Just remember to change water every week. Good luck!
