Hey Hoya family need your help how to care for this baby ...

@elisenavidad thanks for the tag love!
@SuavePuriri Hoyas need either a trellis or a hanging basket. They won’t really adhere to the moss pole, not that I have seen. Do not get the moss pole wet as that could make them rot. Hoyas send out “runners” to look for where to go. If they cannot find a place to hang or trellis they kinda turn off the growth to the vine. Always clip them to a trellis growing up or to the side not growing down. Just wait for the runner to get long enough to loop down and and be able to start growing horizontally again. See pic I attached. I don’t have that piece clipped and won’t until it’s long enough to go all the way down the arch and start growing to the side again (pic 2 is a tendril growing sideways after it looped around.)
Hopefully this makes sense. Tag me if you have questions or need clarification.

@SuavePuriri I found some really cute trellis on Etsy for my Hoya https://www.etsy.com/listing/1704681374/
