Rooting A Stem???

21 years ago

Hi. Can a stem be rooted off a hoya is there are NO aeiral roots on it? I rooted a bunch of Pink silver stems by wrapping spaghnum moss around some aeiral roots. But I have a big 'Macgillivaryi',and it is throwing out super long stems, WITH flower stems on them...no leaves yet. But no aeial roots either. I want to root it but it is in a hanging basket, so I cant even try to do like a soil layering...lay the stem on the soil and see if it roots. Can i put the moss around the last set of leaves and wrap it up? Will it root there? These are a shame to waste. But when and if they flower..they will be like 10feet up in the air...and i will end up having to cut the stems off. So..any rooting ideas would be of great help. Right now they are very soft stems and bendable. But they harden up fast. so..how can i root them? Or is it a lost cause till roots appear IF they ever do. Some thing on a 'Megablaster' hoya.
