Timoho (Kleinhovia hospita L) is a rare plant that has high economic and cultural value for the Javanese people, especially in Yogyakarta. Timoho wood has a beautiful pattern called pelet and is used as a raw material for keris sheath. In Yogyakarta, timoho trees are difficult to find, currently, so that plant propagation in a generative way also has difficulty due to scarcity of seeds. Therefore, it is necessary to conduct timoho propagation research through vegetative methods. The purpose of this study was to determine the origin of stem cuttings to the success of timoho stem cuttings. Stem cuttings come from three timoho trees in the Arboretum of the Center for Forest Biotechnology and Tree Improvement Yogyakarta. The research method used a factorial experimental design using 3 mother trees and 3 stem parts (base, middle and end). The parameters observed were percentage of shoots, number of shoots, length of shoots, and number of leaves. The results showed the percentage of live cuttings varied from 10.9-60.0%, number of shoots 1-7 pieces, number of leaves 3-26 strands and length of shoots 2.00-17.7 cm. The mother tree has a significant effect on the percentage of sprouts and shoot length, while the cuttings material has a significant effect on the length of shoots at the cuttings measurements of the age of 2 months since planted in polybags.
