Hoyas are easy houseplants and you can grow new ones from leaves. First, pick a healthy leaf with a small stalk and plant it in moist soil or sphagnum moss. Keep it in a warm, bright place and mist it sometimes. Some great Hoyas for leaf growth include Hoya carnosa, Hoya australis Lisa, Hoya bella, Hoya obovata, Hoya pubicalyx, and a few more. Some of these need patience and extra care, but they can grow into beautiful plants.
Do you know you could grow more Hoyas from leaves? Well, we have the most beautiful ones to propagate using this approach!
Yes, of course! While it’s a less efficient method due to the time it takes (Anywhere between 1-3 months), it’s still a viable option. Unlike stems, Hoya leaves do not have nodes. Still, they will develop roots from the petioles.

Keep in a warm location with bright light but not too harsh. Give it a good misting every now and then, and in a few weeks, you’ll see new growth.
Note: A leaf might root and grow as an individual entity, but will not develop into a full, vining plant.
This classic wax plant is really forgiving and produces roots from leaf cuttings – go for mature leaves with a sturdy petiole.
