Hoya finnaysonii cutting never rooted or died after 1 year later!
Comments (7)I have a cutting tentatively IDed as H meredithii or vitellinoides which behaves similarly. I've had the cutting for a yr & it's done nothing other than drop 1 of its 2 leaves (I'd cut a 2 node cutting in 2 pieces, lost the other piece). The woman who gave me the cutting & for whom I've tentatively IDed it bloomed it once, then gave me cuttings. She recently said her does nothing after a yr. either -- frustrating! She'd given me cuttings of this once before, 1 w/ a spur that bloomed inside the plastic cuttings bag. Unfortunately, it did so while I was away when my Dad died a yr ago; I cam home & found the end of the bloom. Wish I knew what to suggest to make something happen!...See MoreRooting rose cuttings with basil cuttings?
Comments (2)What taxonomist is saying is "he recommends hormodin". I have tried willow water, and it was a flop. I've had mixed success with powdered rooting horomone. My rosemary woody cuttings loved it. I have sped up rooting by putting another cutting in the same water as a plant that had rooted recently in the same water - it did seem to speed up the root formation of the cutting. So I can't say what happens scientifically, but I have had real world results with what you are interested in trying and I can say that it worked for me - I would say go for it!

Comments (7)@ leoncio, "Another way is to pop off a thorn. If it bends or punctures you it is bad.If it suddenly pops it is good." never have heard it put that way. Good way of putting it. Sorry, I can not be of help here really, I live in Florida, so I can pretty much do cuttings year round. I do what some call "stenting" or top grafting. Much faster, as the rootstock and the grafted part of the rose are both going at the same time. But, you have to have a misting system for it. I never had the best luck with cuttings, until I got a misting system. I went from about 25% to over 80% I spend A LOT less time fussing with the plants. When I first got it, I would check it at least 5 times a day! My biggest problem with a misting system is hardening off the plants. That is when I get the most losses. I will say a lot of people prefer liquid and not powdered rootone.Best of Luck!...See MoreHelp with getting my rooted rose cutting to grow..?
Comments (4)I can only offer advice for my own personal experiences in a very hot and dry area of northern CA. I put new cuttings in an area that gets only dappled sun (or even more shade) from about noon on if the bag is coming off. Sometimes it helps to just open the bag too so it gets used to it like you were saying, but if the bag is already off what I would do is make sure to water it daily, put it in an area that gets afternoon shade, and not a lot of reflected heat. Mulch seems to help too by keeping it cool and keeping some moisture in. The best advice may be totally different for your area though! Hopefully another with more expertise will offer advice too....See Morebluegirl_gw
