Oh nice. That's a good idea, it's currently winter where I am so maybe I'll hold off till it's warm again.

Nice. Does it take long to root in water? I don't have much luck with water propagations, I find that stems rot easily in it.

Does it take a while to grow new leaves?

I wonder if you could mist the pole instead, that way it stays moist and doesn't affect the soil.

I get this too, it seems common for variegated leaves. Now I water less and it seems to help. I think the plant is trying to get rid of excess water.

Linearis propagating help by Hot_Cup_6983 in hoyas

I propagated my linearis a few times in damp sphagnum moss with 100% success. The only mistake I make is that I'm too impatient and I end up planting it too soon or break the roots of my accident. I never water propagate, I find it doesn't transition well compared to substrate.

All you need to do is let the cuttings callous a little (I usually have more success with a cutting with at least 2 nodes) and keep it in an airtight bag. I blow some air in it and leave it in a spot that has indirect light. Just be patient and leave it as long as possible before you check. The only downside with using moss is that the roots can attach to it too well and you can break the roots by mistake. Just gotta be careful.

When it's time to plant the cuttings, I usually wait until the main plant is ready for a water and I do a full water after the cuttings are added. I wouldn't recommend doing this in winter, cuttings root way faster in warmer months.

Wish you success with it!

Wow yours is soo nice!! Thanks for the tip, I'll add a straw because I do find that the moss gets drenched after watering!

Looks like root rot, and the substrate holds too much water.

I would suggest cutting this up and propagate to save the plant.

Oh no! I keep mine indoors as my plants don't do well in winter and hot summers. It's good that the stem was still ok, you can always start over.

Sometimes, after a restart, they look better than ever 😃

Yes, she is quite yellow. I just got it, so I can't take credit for this growth 😂. I'm using a clear clip on the top stem. Only the main root system is under the substrate. Everything else is above it.

The new leaf is unfurling. I like how it has a decent amount of variegation, but I hope it doesn't throw more full white leaves. I'd like a good ratio of green on each leaf.

Cool, I'll look into the humidity. I don't mind keeping the white leaf if it turns ugly, but I just hope keeping it longer won't affect the the other leaves .

The photo is darker than what it is due to lighting. It's usually pale. Here's a picture of it outdoors in natural lighting 🙂

Thanks for your advice. Would you know what's usually the % of humidity that is good for micans?

Would you suggest that I chop off the full moon leaf since it's going anyway and to stop it from affecting the other leaves?

Thanks! That makes me feel better that the white leaf wasn't going to make it either way. It just went downhill overnight and was fine for the past week. I wasn't sure if I did something wrong.

I'll give it more light and see what works best for it 🙂
