So, I heard that if you dip the cut end in some honey it helps along root chances!? Anyone heard of this???

I have not heard of that. Hoyas can take a really long time to root, so just be patient :) Yours is only a week or two old right?! The less you mess around with them the better. That being said, Iāve found my Hoyas root better/quicker in sphagnum moss vs hydro OR just directly into a small pot of dirt that I put in a ziplock bag. But they will still work in water! Change the water when it gets cloudy or gross. Have it in a bright spot but not direct sunlight, roots donāt like that. And again, patience :)

0 gillningarBeware of rot! Try cinnamon on fresh cuttings. Then rooting powder.
3 gillningarIāve heard of Aloe Vera speeding up the rooting but I havenāt heard of honeyš¤ let us know if it works!! Rooting hormone powder & sphagnum moss works great on Hoyas if the honey doesnāt work out. Good luck with your Hoya!!!ā¤ļø

0 gillningarI have heard of this(honey) and have tried it as well. Not sure if it really helped at all. I do water propagation with my Hoyas and add prop drops(you can purchase on Amazon) they make the roots growth within a week or so. Way faster than just plain water.
