Aloe Vera Pups & Hoya Carnosa: Propagation and Bloom Tips

Aloe Vera Offsets

• Water rooting works but soil is standard: let cut end callous 1 day, plant in small pot with damp peat/perlite.
• Your 3-week water-rooted pups can be potted now in 2" terra cotta with cactus mix.

Hoya Carnosa: Getting Vines & Flowers

• Hoyas don't branch naturally. Growers start 6–10 cuttings per pot for fullness.
• Take cuttings from your vines and add to the same pot.
• Pot-bound = blooms. Don't repot unless roots are cracking the pot. 6" is fine.
• Direct sun daily is essential for flowering.
• If root ball has loose outer soil, you could drop to a 4–5" pot, but not necessary.

Patience

Hoyas bloom when mature, pot-bound, and sun-drenched. It can take years.
