| Good luck with this. I have found them tricky to root, take cuttings of. Since I live in a semi tropical condition, you would think this plant EASY to OBTAIN. Ha! I get most of my hoyas from else where, no where NEAR Califonia, which makes me a grumpy gardener! Multiflora need certain growing conditions. They don't replicate from cuttings, well. Good luck. I had to be gifted. I've only seen them for sale once! In the 15 years I've been looking! |

| Hi cena I am sure you must have tried rooting this one in water but if not,You should try this way. I have a big EA one that I got a couple years a go and it was very lop sided so last winter I cut it up and just put them in water and they all rooted.This one grows roots from the bottom. I still have the mother plant and now I am now adding some back in the other side of the pot to get more even looking. Cindy |

| Cena, Like Cpawl, I got a huge one a few years ago (when EA was offering them) and it just got so big that I whacked mine up this summer. They do usually root in water, but I always have trouble getting water roots to adapt to soil. So my favorite way to root them is to take a handfull of cuttings and stick the base of the stems in a baggie full of wet sphagnum moss, then clip it closed around the stems with the foliage sticking out the top. If the sphag starts to dry out, open it to re-wet it (I spray it with some VF-11 water.) Within a few weeks, the bag is full of roots! Then I just shake off any excess sphag and plant them in the regular soil I use. The key to multiflora is not to let it get even a little dry. In your climate, it would probably take water almost every day! Denise in Omaha |
