Then I take the cutting, dip in in the rooting power or whatever, and insert the cutting into the mix at an angle ( making sure that the 'node' is scrunched into the mix at least 1/4"...yes, often the rest of the cutting is on top of the mix...and often it will put out roots up there. Then I have two cuttings!!!

Depending on how many cuttings I have....I can lay them down both sides of the tray (their bottom stems will cross in the mix...and there is plenty of room in there). Cuttings of various hoyas together will have their own rooting speed, so give them plenty of time and if, when you take them out, some of the cuttings might need to go back for bigger roots, you can put them into a pot.
