    Hello :
    My single stem cuttings have grown to approximately 6-7 inches, I have cut off the appropriate amount of the tips, brushed the open ends with a growth horome and returned to the same pot with a mix of perlite, vermiculite and soil. My question is: From where does the new growth occur, from the tips of those cuttings or from the base or both? I feel silly asking this but I'm an older "newbie"! With thanks,
    Hoyagal.

    you'll get roots at the end that's in the soil and the ends will continue to grow. that's for most of the 'viney' type hoya. other types that are 'bushy' may put out new growth at any point along the stems, so, you may end up with something coming up from near where the roots are and/or have new sprouts coming off the stem further up.
