How to encourage growth?
I've had this hoya since February and it's not grown any new leaves. It also hasn't declined so that's good at least, right? There's no visible pests or signs of pest damage. It's like a fake plant - green, perfect and no growth.
I've added fertilizer at 1/2 strength to watering time every few weeks or so. I've tried to check the roots but the potting medium is moss so I can barely see anything since they blend into the moss - I worry about damaging the roots if I poke around too much.
Thoughts? Does it need more humidity or a trellis? repotting even if no roots are poking out?

I’m pretty new to houseplants but I have a different variety of Hoya that I got as a cutting ( no roots at all). I potted in a clear pot with a chunky mix of indoor potting soil, perlite, charcoal and orchid bark. It sits directly in a northwest facing window. I water when dry. Got the cutting in early April and I now have roots and about 3 inches of new growth with 3 new small leaves on it. I’ve been using super theive with every watering for about a month. Hope this helps…
@MelissaAnn1981 thanks for sharing, Melissa! Maybe I'll try more light and look into a specific fertilizer before I repot - I just read that hoyas like to be a little rootbound.
