Starting new plants from stem cuttings can be difficult and maybe even frustrating - I thought it may be helpful to show how I have had success propagating from stem cuttings. To begin with, I had to make some cuts on this gorgeous Hoya pubicalyx 'Royal Hawaiian Purple' because it had grown through my shelf and around a lamp and I needed to cut it free. I don't like wasting good plant material and so I am propagating the stem that I cut from the parent plant.

Full disclosure – the last three product links will be much cheaper if you can find them in your local garden center. I’ve put them here so that you can see what they are called and what they look like, but I’d advise that you buy from these links only as a last resort.
