Hoyas are attractive, vining houseplants that are ideal for placing up high. Popular types include Hoya linearis, Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' and Hoya carnosa 'Compacta', which resembles a twisted rope. Many will produce pink or white, fragrant flowers alongside their waxy leaves.
Whatever the variety, if you're already growing a hoya in your home, it should be relatively easy to propagate. You have two different methods to choose from – taking cuttings, or layering. Whichever you go for, spring or summer is the time to do so. 'This is when the plant is actively growing,' explains plant expert Autumn Hilliard-Knapp.
