# I had a couple leaves fall of my Hoya crimson queen, so I stuck them…

_Posted by Jess on 2026-09-29_

I had a couple leaves fall of my Hoya crimson queen, so I stuck them in this little pot to see if they would possibly take root. There was no node just the leaves. Has anyone had success with this? Is it even possible?

It can grow roots and sustain itself, but it won’t put out new growth without a node. Unfortunately.

Dang …. Ok! Thank you!

Mine lasted for just over a year with a good root system. I knew it wouldn’t be more than this so i decided to put in this cutie holder. 😊  
It slowly withered and now this cutie is holding a lil cactus. 🌵
