Video: Repotting Hoya pubicalyx 'Royal Hawaiian Purple' and Propagating Hoyas from Stem Cuttings

Starting new plants from stem cuttings can be difficult and maybe even frustrating - I thought it may be helpful to show how I have had success propagating from stem cuttings. To begin with, I had to make some cuts on this gorgeous Hoya pubicalyx 'Royal Hawaiian Purple' because it had grown through my shelf and around a lamp and I needed to cut it free. I don't like wasting good plant material and so I am propagating the stem that I cut from the parent plant.
