THANK YOU! Vining tropical’s are a little different, even in the same genus. Had specifically what I was looking for.

In reply to VERNON ROWLAND. You need to have a node in water, i.e. the part where the leaves emerge. Cut a section with multiple sets of leaves, remove at least one leaf closest to where you cut and make sure that section is in water.

I was looking for information on where to cut a HOYA CAMOSA to start a new one.
I found your description of too many different plants confusing . I did cut a 6″ piece of my HOYA which had 2 tiny leaves. I placed it in water and in a North facing window.
Now I am uncertain if I cut too little .

Can you offer any help ?
Thank you
Vern
