# Hey, guys! I rescued this Hoya from the garbage and I’m not too sure…

Hey, guys! I rescued this Hoya from the garbage and I’m not too sure how to go about the next steps. There really isn’t a good root system, and I really don’t want to chop. How should I move forward?

Put them in a propagation box (perlite / sphagnum moss) and let it grow roots.

It might take a while, but it’ll give you some time to decide what you want to do with it.

You could remove some of the lower leaves then put in jar of water and let root.
