And while this isn't a hoya, I wanted to share what it's doing for begonias.
I received this cutting from a friend way back in early September. I've had it in my greenhouse in a propagation tray ever since. After all that time, there wasn't a single root. I was getting very impatient with it so I decided to bring it inside and put it in the 'magic' tray and within three days I had roots.
This is what it looks like after 9 days in the tray. I put it in on 12/9/05
I was stunned to see these roots.
I also had a tradescantia 'Blushing Bride' cutting that I knocked off the mother plant so I stuck it in as well. roots in three days!
Go figure. It's like 'Jack and the bean stalk' only it's 'Lali and the perlite tray'!
