Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Rooting H. imperialis...suggestions?, 1 by JuliaSF

The growth tip of my H. imperialis was yellowing, so I dug it up and noticed the root ball was completely soggy and rotted. (Its pot was too big and didn't have proper drainage). So I cut it off the rootball, but now am wondering the best way to root the 10-inch cutting. It's too long to use my usual method (perlite-filled pots inside a plastic bag), so I stuck it in a vase that supports its heavy stem, and put some saran wrap around the opening to create "greenhouse effect" - of the good kind.

Has anyone here had luck rooting imperialis in water? Sara - I know you used to root most of your hoyas this way.

thanks,
