Fantastic video, obviously a lot of hard work went into creating this video with all the diligence of the follow up! Thanks so much!! Your cat is adorable!
Thanks for sharing this. Fantastic that you were able to show progress over time. Super helpful for what I need to do next with mine, which has grown a stem up to the ceiling in the last year, and needs taming.
I just got a hoya kerri. This has got to be the most detailed video about hoya kerrii on youtube. Super informative and helpful. Thank you for posting!
I received an unroofed cutting (not the plan) from a seller so I’m here to learn how to root it properly. This video was very educational. The sealing with wax is new for me but it makes sense. Thanking you for making this tutorial so in-depth.
Glad you find the video helpful. They will be fine without wax seal as well. I've tried some with and without and the plants didn't really care. Good luck with your cutting! ^^

I just love your video. I'm a visual learner and it's perfect for me. Thanks for sharing. I will be propagating my Hoya Kerrii's that's for sure. You are the best!
I'm guessing the leaf doesn't have a stem node. Otherwise, it will grow new vine and take off eventually. Prof. Black Cat says don't buy single leaf unless you are sure it comes with a stem. ^^
Thanks! Water propagation is just easier for me. Soil and perlite require some baby sitting to make sure they don't dry out. Good luck with your propagation!
15 weeks on water care.... 👍 mine sprout lots of root in 1 week, it should be faster than 15weeks.. 👌 btw good clear and nice video..its take a lots of time for you 👍👍
This was so very interesting and informative. I just got my first verigated Kerrii. It's just a leaf in the soil, I was curious and not much below the surface of soil but what I think is a node was at the base of plant and there are roots but nothing substantial. Should I rinse this all off and place in water?
If it already has some roots then leave it in soil since it already acclimatizes. A lot of the single leaf H. kerrii sold are just leaf without nodes. They will root from a single leaf but will not grow into a real plant without a stem node. I'm not sure if yours has a stem node or just a rooted from a leaf. Hopefully it comes with a stem node. Hope this helps! ^^
Hola me encantó tu video,lastima que no está en español porque no entiendo ingles..mas o menos pude darme cuenta el proceso,cuantos dias tarda el enraizar?..y luego cuando ya vas a plantar y veo que le cortas un pedacito de raiz,ese sin hojas tambien lo plantas?muchas gracias😍
Hola! I used google translate to help me understand your comment. ^^ The root development depends on season/temperature. I have cuttings that root within a week when it's warm. You can use leafless vines as long as they have hardened off. Young/new shoots will just rot. Hope that helps.
How big does the node have to be for it to survive? I bought one and it does have about an inch of stem at the base of the single leaf. It does have a huge root system too.
I have kerii growing tall like crazy, it's over a meter now and there's this very long steam, about 45cm with aerial roots and nods but no leaves, I was thinking about chopping it into multiple cuttings and propagating it. Have you tried propagating stems with no leaves before?
I have propagated H. obovata, pubicalyx, and carnosa from stems with leafless nodes. I'm pretty sure it will work with kerrii too. Make sure the stems have hardened off before you cut them for propagation. Fresh growth tends to rot or die back easily. Good luck!
You can leave it for a day or two to heal or put it straight into water. They are not fussy over it as long as the cuttings are taken from growth that have hardened off and not new growth. Hope that helps. ^^
I changed the water every two weeks. I propagated another one last year and left it growing in water for a long time now and only top up when the water level is low. I rarely have to change the water. I add fertilizer and put a cozy over the container to prevent algae from growing.
I typically use Turface (Montmorillonite calcined clay) and perlite mix. Potting soil is ok too as long as you give it plenty of bright lights and let it dry completely before watering again. I'm not sure if your one leaf comes with any stem node at all. A lot of the single leaf I've seen are just a rooted leaf and they will not turn into a plant due to a lack of stem cell that can actually grow into one. If you're lucky, some stem cells may still be attached to the leaf when it was taken from the mother plant but having an actual node with both stem and leaf is best for propagation. Hope that helps. ^^

Thanks for your comment. If the humidity and temperature are high enough, they will root without any medium. I see it happening to some of my cuttings that I dangle over water. Gracias! ^^
@@SeowLikeMeow I will have a small rubber plant with a few leaves tommorow. If I cut all the leaves from the mother plant. Will the mother plant with nodes only give a new leaf? Just curious?? Thanks
@@readchew9498 New leaves will not grow from the old nodes after leaf removal. If you prune the toppest nodes off (assuming your plant has multiple nodes below still), you can encourage back budding and branching that way. It will usually branch from the next two nodes below the top node you remove. Eventually, the new branches will have new nodes and leaves as they grow. Hope that makes sense. ^^
I've a single leaf Hoya kerrii, at my front sun facing room.. So it gets bright light from 8-6 (No direct sunlight), i water it whenever it's top soil is dried out.. Still kept in the sponge and soils that came as it is.. Bit scared if i tried removing the sponge it might damage the plant... Everything was goin pretty well for 3-4 months, but now dark black spots are appearing on the back side of the hoya kerri, dark kinda like the type when u leave a marker on a paper and it makes a spot type... What went wrong? Any idea?
I don't know what causes black spots particularly on the back side of the leaf. Have you tried rubbing them? Do they come off? Are they additional growth on top of the leaf? I've heard of fungus or possibly root rot. You might want to take a peek at the roots. The sponge might not be drying off fast enough. While you are at it, check if your single heart has an actual stem node. New shoots will grow with a stem node but if it is a single rooted leaf without a node, saving it is going to be tough.
I just noticed that you mentioned watering when top soil is dry. I water mine when the whole soil is completely dry. My guess is your hoya is having root rot at this point.
@@ddyukon6369 The cuttings already have roots. I covered them because I didn't want moisture rotting out the new cuts before it could heal over after potting them up. I wouldn't use anything to cover up the cuts if they are for propagation and there is no roots yet. The cut site is where water is drawn up to sustain the stems/cuttings until root growth happens. So don't cover it up with anything that acts like a sealant. Hope I answered your question.
@@SeowLikeMeow Thank you. I got my first Hoya earlier this year the Hindu rope stems The stems grew great now in soil one is okay but the other not too to sure. I do like the Kerri but wasn’t too sure about temperature or the amount of light. It does get dark winter but all my plants like the east window. I have a variety of snake plants.
@@ddyukon6369 I'd say start with a location where the rest of your plants are thriving at. H. kerrii is a pretty easy going plant. Adjust your watering for the dark winter and it will pick back up when there's longer hours of lights. Optionally you can get grow lights as supplement. I have a few snake plants too. They are outside braving the cold of winter in Northern California which usually hovers just above freezing overnight. When there is freeze/frost, I move them into an unheated garage for protection. Actually, my H. kerrii is also outside. They have been outside for the most part of the year and should acclimate and handle the mild cold.
I love this video! Can you please make a video to show how to water hoya Kerri? My first hoya Kerri was deed because of to much water. I get my 2de hoya Kerri now, but still don't know how to care it.
I use a mixture of 50% perlite and 50% turface (Montmorillonite Clay) as substrate and water when it is completely dry. It usually dries out in 7 to 8 days in the summer indoor. Your soil mix is probably different and depending on the temperature and the amount of lights it has, yours will be different. This is what I recommend. First, give it a good amount of lights. No lights, no photosynthesis, and the plant will eventually die when it uses up its stored energy. This Hoya can handle drying out very well so don't worry about it drying out. I recommend sticking your finger in the soil and check for dampness. Eventually you'll learn how fast it dries and you can just water confidently. Hope this helps!
I've been told not to take that long to put a plant rooting into soil. If you are waiting too long the plant can be killed because of roots remaking in soil.
The cuttings I rooted in water transplanted well. They even bloomed later in the summer last year. It's important to have a well draining mix and handling the transition/acclimatization period. Everyone will most likely have a different way of approaching things. I'd say do what you're comfortable with and experiment away! ^^
Yes, tropical leaves tend to get huge. How's your gnome garden coming along? From time to time, UA-cam fails to notify me of new comments. Sorry I didn't reply earlier.
@@SeowLikeMeow thanx for asking! its going nicely this season. my scarlet pimpernel came back well, only one vine with blue flowers, trying to give it its own light to get some blooms from it and maybe get seeds for next year, happy just for that much tho of course. my carolina geranium came back but didnt last long, not sure if i over pruned it, soil stays too wet or if the squirrels were eating it. made a shade table to keep the moss alive but that takes a bit of light from the pimpernel, working on balancing that. hows ur miniature landscape going?
@@MrTributes I know what you mean. I pruned 1/3 of my african daisy that were getting leggy and they are hating me for it. No idea why either, nothing really changed. Carolina geranium grows like weed in my front yard. They take mowing pretty well and we never water the lawn, just the very infrequent rain. Perhaps too wet? My miniature landscape is overgrown. Had to downsize some plants from encroaching each other but still looking a bit crowded. I'm just going to take it easy and keep them under control whenever I feel up for it. I also added a bunch of sedum I had in pots into the ground. They really love being able to spread instead of hanging over pots. The habitat area has moss that are slowly spreading. It does pretty well since it is north facing and doesn't get sun. Even flooded once this past winter from getting too much rain. Liverwort is also spreading. I'm not sure if I like that but can't complain. ^^
@@SeowLikeMeow yes, il have to try the geranium again when i get a cage to keep squirrels out, it seemed like it was doing so well and it came back on its own, so il still try with it. im glad your still on that project and i cant wait to see an update on it ;) and im going to start a sm page soon so il be able to share some pics with you.
@MrTributesTreesOfAtomity I've been so lazy but a garden video is on my list of videos to do. Thanks for the encouragement! Perhaps I'll be able to get it done sometime next month.

Interesting. Thank you. Pretty cat😺
Very nice progression of growth. I have only leaf cutting which just sits and does nothing. Excellent supervision from Professor Black Cat.
I'm guessing the leaf doesn't have a stem node. Otherwise, it will grow new vine and take off eventually. Prof. Black Cat says don't buy single leaf unless you are sure it comes with a stem. ^^
Amazing video! Some people propagate in soil or perlite. The water method seems great... I'm going to try it.
Thanks! Water propagation is just easier for me. Soil and perlite require some baby sitting to make sure they don't dry out. Good luck with your propagation!
This is a great video…thanks! Can you please explain the soil blend if you can? I guess I was curious what “turface” is. Cheers!

what about those bare stems with roots? if you planted them would you eventually get leaves?
How big does the node have to be for it to survive? I bought one and it does have about an inch of stem at the base of the single leaf. It does have a huge root system too.
Ok i will try...hope for success...
Good luck!
This is so cool!!
Thanks! ^^
Love the video. Thank you 🙏💜
You're welcome. ^^
🙏😍💜
How's the growth so far? I heard it can take years for it to grow a new leaf 🥺
They are growing leaves faster since it's warmer now. Definitely not going to take years since they are grown from stem cuttings.
Great video

After you cut vines and put on the rooting hormone on the ends, did you wait 24 hours and then place them into the water ??
No, I didn't.
My kerii splash is getting some clear jelly-like stuff on the small roots in the water. Should I be concerned or wash it off?
Rinse them off when you do water change. ^^
