Will new vines form from single leaves that have been rooted?

9 years ago

I got a fishtail hoya from lowes. ( i have been getting a lot of hoyas lately) and while it has some vines/branches that are hanging out of the basket, it also has a lot of single leaves that have been rooted in the soil.
Will these leaves grow vines and make my plant fuller?

Usually, no. Unless a bit of the stem tissue is left on the leaf cutting, it is almost, if not, impossible for new vine/stem growth to occur. However, the leaf itself may root and just stay a leaf. Helps fill out the bottom of a pot, but that's it.
