Ooh what plant are we propping here?

#### LeeAnn replied on 2024-07-02

Both are Hoya’s one is a krimson princess and the other is a carnosa (stardust)

Oh cool! I’ve never propped a Hoya before, so I hope someone else comments tips we can both learn from 😁

Hello! Wet moss with perlite in a ziplock bag was how I did mine. They root forever so just be patient! I think mine took 2 months if I remember correctly. That was during the winter months so hopefully it’ll be quicker for you! Position the leaf up above or on the moss with its node down buried in moss. Lastly, occasionally check for mold and discard decaying ones.
