the only thing i have is a hoya carnosa green leaf if you would like to trade

Hi Haxuan & welcome, If you can go back & look for more, look for a vine that has at least 1 or 2 nodes on it (nodes sort of look like knuckles or joints). Nodes are where new leaves &/or branches will originate. 1 or 2 nodes are considered the bare minimum to get a Hoya cutting going, I've done it from one, but 2 would be better. This Hoya can root in water also, I've done this as well too. A bare vine CAN grow into a new plant provided it has at least a couple of nodes on it. (A bare vine w/ no nodes will never become a new plant.) Good luck w/ it & Happy Hoya Hunting!

Hi Denise, Well since you've asked ... My main & largest Kerrii is in the bathroom west window (frosted). Every year it throws a long bare stem, easily 3 ft+. Usually the bare stem grows into the shower stall, the 1st yr. it did so (3 or 4 yrs. ago), I had a houseguest during Spring for a week, had he not been a plantsman himself, I'm certain the Kerrii would have been all over the shower floor, but he was very careful getting in & out from the other end & it was OK, I cut it back soon after he left & started a 2nd pot from that bare stem once it had 1 leaf. 2nd yr. the same happened & I cut it again into a third hunk of it. The one in the bathroom I let dry out pretty well, water it once every 10 days-2 wks (in a 5" pot, large for my Hoyas) The other 2 I keep more wet, each in a cup w/in another cup or cachepot, in which I keep a layer of pebbles which I keep wet (most of the time); water these weekly, maybe 2.5-3" pots. The ones not in the bathroom, get a bit more difuse light, each being abt 8-10 ft. in from the west windows, one in kitchen, other on top of a highboy. Maybe the others are faster 'cause they have short stems to start, maybe 7-9" tops. They tend to have leaves at more frequent intervals than the parent plant. Interestingly, the parent plant (in the bathroom window & kept drier which is also hooped) is finally putting out baby leaves at the tip end of the bare stems (never did that before), that's after I believe 2 waterings w/ VF-11 (& no misting). On inspection, I'm reminded that Kerrii stems have a lot of both aerial roots & leaf nodes. I notice the 2 smaller plants are planted on an angle, not straight up. Perhaps they're being angle in the pots (had to do w/ how the older leaves were angled, so I planted in on the same angle, not straight up & down); allows for more node tissue in contact w/ the mix & more leaf growth, the 2 younger ones are definitely leavier than the parent. Who knows!

I love those flecks, Lydia. What a beautiful leaf. Susan, I will have to send you a picture of the loyce you sent me last summer. It is absolutely fabulous. I bet Lydias next leaves will be huge like we are used to seeing with this species.
