Nodes?

9 years ago

I have one Hoya plant and would like to get some cuttings from it. I have had her since 2002 and it started to flower in 2011. I have done some cuttings in the past on other house plants but I am having some issues with how to do it with my hoya. Where is the node located? I just signed up today so I hope I'm asking in the right place ;)

A node is the bump that leaves grow from. You want to cut right above where the leaves are so that you leave enough stem to root.

I have circled what I think are nodes on your pic. Examine your plant closely to confirm.

I realize I may not have explained where to cut clearly. I have made a poorly executed paint picture to try and demonstrate how it is done.
