The best way I propagated this plant was to take some sphagnum moss and wet it place in a small container and lay the cuttings on the moist sphagnum moss and place the lid over it. I put a few holes in the lid of the container and put in a warm lit area left it alone. After a few months I had a pretty good size plant.
That is definitely another great way to propagate. There is definitely not a right or wrong way of propagating. I do propagate some plants that way too, I’m just not a big fan of sphagnum moss.😉
Thank you! I feel it’s a most common mistake people make with plants, and every plant has its own way of letting you know when it needs water. Plants that I understand I will always share. Of course there’s some that are very difficult to read and I still overwater sometimes too.💚
I have this beautiful plant and it is growing really fast. I got it as just 1 strand in July, tiny little thing and looking all beat up but it now has 5 growth points. lol
I am so glad you are the one who’s not struggling with this Hoya! Just wondering did you get it rooted? Once they are rooted they are super easy to grow.
@@ElenasGreenPlanet Yes I got it rooted from an Etsy seller. Was packed really crappily and in bad shape but bounced back after over a month. All these new growth only started to appear in September. So happy. :)
I am so glad it’s doing well for you! If you only got one vine you can probably wrap it in the pot and just pin it down at the nodes. I would not be surprised if you get a bunch of new growth points on every node 😊
I feel your pain. I am glad you finally was able to root it. It does grow very slow in the beginning just like a lot of Hoya‘s, but once it takes off there is no stopping 😊
First of all, congratulations on scoring a giant Hoya! 💚 As of lighting and location, it doesn’t really matter. Hoyas love sun too, in fact she might bloom for you more in better lighting. The only reason why I like to keep them in lower light because I find them bleach out in too much sun and I just don’t like the look of bleached out foliage. That is my personal preference. I think the best thing you can do is put her where you want her to be and kind of observe, you can always move her to a different location. Also, every Hoya is different, some of them sun stress beautifully, some get bleached out, some get more splashy. In fact, my Hoya Pubicalyx was originally grown on east window, and it was very bleached out, and I had to move her for that reason. With Hoya curtisii, I have grown her in a few different spots except south window, and she was doing just fine. The only reason I have not tried to grow her on south window just because I don’t have much space there.
@ElenasGreenPlanet Thank you! I'm proud to have such a gorgeous plant. I want the very best for her! I will continue to keep an eye on it. I appreciate you responding so quickly and thank you for the advice 😊
is yours the Thai or Phillipines: I have one smaller and so far doing great next to a wall vase of a String of Hearts; both doing really good. I am in Miami
I find it that all Hoyas grow very slow in the beginning until they adjust to your environment. Also I believe they grow roots first and once they are done filling up the pot that’s when they takeoff growing. Curtisii if you touch mature leaves they get a little bit thinner when they need water. I think 2 inch pot might need water once a week. It’s all depends on your environment. If leaves turn yellow then you watering too much. I hope it helps.😊
Awesome! I have a small 4” Curtisii that I got this year. She’s done well outside, hopefully to continue her journey is doing well once I get her in the house! One question-once they’re all rooted up and ready to go in a pot of their own-how do you acclimate them to being outside of your prop box? I’ve had a few issues with losing new leaves. My house is around 50% humidity, which I’m able to set-so that’s where it usually stays. But I do keep it cool I’m my house. Maybe that’s the issue?! Anyway-another great video! Thank you!!!!! 💚💚💚
I usually put them in my grow tent on the shelf for a little wile, then I move them anywhere in my house. If you don’t have a grow tent just put them under a grow light or somewhere where your Hoyas do the best. As a temperature, I’m not sure. My house is opposite I like it warm, it’s always 72-74 here. 😊
Hi Chip! Thank you so much! 💚 That little intro was created by my son when he was nine years old. I love it, and it’s very special to me. He told me it took him two hours to do that, and now I have to have a UA-cam channel. 🤣 Year later my channel was born. 😂

It roots really fast in water 💧 mines rooted in water in just a few days. Yours are beautiful
I don’t think I’ve seen this Hoya before. She’s so pretty! That’s great information to know about how to propagate it!
Thank you for sharing! 💜💚🪴
I really appreciate how you always tell us watering tips and how the leaves change!! Thank you!

Curtisii was my first Hoya and it’s growing so well. I love its cute little leaves. I will for sure try your propagation method.
Thanks a lot, the best video on curtisii
Curtisii only needs the moisture environment with moss ❤
Ty. I just gave mine a watering. I will try puttiny it under more humidity and see what happens.
Thank you! I have a tiny one that I’ve been struggling to propagate. I can’t wait to try this method 😊
I knew I’m not the only one! 😂 Good luck! 💚
It’s so voluptuous I love it 💚💚
Thank you! 💚💚💚

@@ElenasGreenPlanet Yep will do that when I transfer to a bigger pot. Right now its just in a tiny pot. lol
it took me months and months of my cutting doing nothing. in a mossbox. eventually it rooted and it's slooooowly growing.
I feel your pain. I am glad you finally was able to root it. It does grow very slow in the beginning just like a lot of Hoya‘s, but once it takes off there is no stopping 😊
If you want flowers, increase light.
My 6 inch pot is full of blooms in a southwest window.
Thank you! 💚 I was thinking about it but I have nowhere to put it other than that north window.
I just bought a huge one, its hanging up in a south window. Should I move it to my east window?

Mine was grown by Costa Farms and they mass produce their plants. I don’t really know the origin of mine.
I have 2 2inch pots in a chunky mix.. I’m wondering if I’m watering enough.. it’s growing very slowly for me.. I haven’t jelled them though! 🤣

Bonjour de france. Et merci beaucoup pour cette vidéo 💚
Lovely plant 🪴 great vlog & I love the little music intro 💚✅ Chip 🌱 CHIPS WORLD

@@ElenasGreenPlanet how funny 😂😁 I love that 💚 fabulous 😊
I am blown away. I have had one cutting for 2 years and it still looks terrible! It is a 2 node cutting all shriveled! Love your videos.
Definitely try what I did it really works. I had that cutting for years too until I figured it out. 😊
