    Hello,

    I have moved office and found this plant. I really like it, but don't know what it is and how to take cuttings from it.
    It would be great, if you could help me with this one.
    Thank you! :)

    It's a Hoya carnosa.

    Nice easy plant to take care of....

    Take tip cuttings down to the next set of leaves and use a good draining potting soil with some Perlite added for good drainage. Hoyas do very well in bright light with a few hrs of sun.
    Let the soil pretty much dry out before giving it anymore water. Fertilize lightly in the growing season.

    Do not take any of the cuttings from the stem that the flower is growing on .. it will rebloom from the same stem over and over..
