How to propagate Hoya and what to pay attention to

How to propagate Hoya

The main ways of propagating Hoya are division and cutting. Its seeds can also be propagated, and its natural reproduction method is also seed propagation. Generally speaking, cuttings are the fastest way to propagate Hoya.

Hoya breeding time

Hoya is generally propagated by cuttings, and the best time is spring, when the temperature is more suitable, the air humidity is higher, and the survival rate of reproduction is relatively high.

Propagation of Hoya by division

First of all, water the Hoya less before division, select thick stems, and make sure there are at least 5 pseudobulbs connected together. Put a layer of broken tiles at the bottom of the flowerpot, and then fill it with loose sandy soil. After division, water it thoroughly, and then make sure the soil is moist. It will survive in half a month.

Hoya cutting propagation

First, you need to choose suitable Hoya branches as cuttings, cut them into 5-8 cm sections, leaving 2 nodes and only 1-2 leaves on them, place them in a cool and ventilated place to dry the wounds, prepare a suitable substrate, keep it breathable, well-drained and nutritious, and then insert the cuttings directly into the medium. They will generally take root in 15-20 days.

Precautions for Ball Orchid Propagation

The soil used for propagating Hoya requires to be breathable, fertile, well-drained, and preferably acidic. Water it appropriately after propagation, once a week, and be sure there is no accumulation of water. Provide diffuse light during maintenance, provide appropriate shade in summer, apply fertilizer 1-2 times a month during the peak growth period, and reduce fertilization when growth is slow.
