How would you handle her?

#Hoya , so she is now like 4 feet high and has one fairly long branch. I already trimmed the main like 3 times and hopping is possible to either bend it down if it keeps growing lengthwise or that is ok to keep clipping it. My question is about the branch. Should I add another bamboo and bring that branch down, is that even possible with this plants? Or how should I handle her? Just repotted to a bigger pot too.
0ft to light, direct
8” pot with drainage

I would recommend to get a bamboo hoop trellis, they really help with wrapping the long Hoyas and if it’s long enough you can direct it to go back upwards, depending on the height of the bamboo hoop you use. They make 16” ones (and even taller, like 2 feet high) that I find work pretty well and you can get them off amazon too. I attached a photo of one of my Hoyas I trellised recently on a bamboo hoop.
@in2ndo I love @Lilrunwaymdl β€˜s hoop trellis idea πŸ‘πŸ» If you want a fuller plant, you could also cut this vine way back and propagate the vine in several pieces. Then once they root you can put them all back in the same pot. Beautiful plant either way! πŸͺ΄πŸ€©πŸ’š
@Lilrunwaymdl got it done :-) and I cut the little branch and planted it next to it. Let’s hope it sticks.
@in2ndo yay! It looks much better :) the nice part is once it gets longer you can guide it back up the other side of the trellis too
