Here's another one...and a tip on making it all better!
Hoya carnosa can be propagated at anytime by air layering or by stem cuttings. A portion of the stem including one or more pairs of leaves will quickly produce roots in water or damp sand.
Let it dry out during the winter months. Fertilize every 2 months in spring and summer. Do not remove the leafless spurs or stubs, on which new flowers appear every year. I recommend a well balanced fertilizer such as Miracle Gro - find the one for succulents. If you cannot find one, the all purpose one works just fine. Make sure to let the dirt dry out inbetween waterings.
