y’all i really gotta stay off of etsy! how do i care for this cutting? i feel like Planta gives advice for more mature plants. this is a Wilbur Graves Hoya, and it’s currently in Sphagnum Moss. This cutting was not cheap! 😅 so i NEED her to grow and thrive! TIA 💚

Bonide’s Rooting Hormone Powder. I get it at my local nurseries or Ace Hardware, Lowe’s, or Home Depot. Dip the cuttings in the powder and it’ll help the plant develop roots faster. Hope this helps 😊 Good luck with the Hoya. I’ve been looking for a Wilbur Graves for a while now, so I hope it becomes a proper plant for you. That cutting is gorgeous 🌱

The best thing you can do for cuttings, is ask how they were being kept. Humidity, water, light. Past that they usually do best in good light, higher humidity, and in a greenhouse type setting. I use Dip N Grow for rooting cuttings. And then they go into enclosed bins or the indoor greenhouse
