Thrilled with my Hoya cutting's growth

I am thrilled with how this Hoya cutting is taking off. Two new leaves and possibly two new growth points. It’s in pon and thriving so far. I started with a two leaf cutting with a peduncle. The peduncle, as expected doesn’t look like it’s maturing but hopefully next spring.
2ft to light, indirect
3” pot without drainage

@PlantznBirdz the way to tell which way it goes it to look at the Y shape the branches off in the stem point, so the Y shape should point up towards the growing direction. Hoyas get confusing cause they may be off hanging plants then the leaves are going the other direction πŸ˜…

I really like this woman’s videos, and she shows a good example of it here in section 1.6. https://youtu.be/qOAgyPvBKlM

It’s rooted and growing anyways so haha enjoy it being a bit funny!!
Totally random comment on this, but I think the cutting got rooted upside down from it’s original growing convention.. but as you can see it totally works! And you definitely have 2 new growth points.
@Alinaa I was thinking the same thing. The leaves were facing up so I thought what I rooted was the non-growing end. But I think I was wrong.
@Alinaa thank you!! I will watch it. This was my first attempt at rooting cuttings. Now I need to see how many I rooted upside down. πŸ˜‚
@Alinaa thankfully it looks like this is the only one I rooted the wrong end. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ I’m still learning!
@PlantznBirdz hahahaha no worries they will grow! I really like her videos, they explain things very clearly!
