# hi everyone! this is my h. mathilde, i’ve had her since last spring…

_Posted by cherrbear🐻 on 2025-06-06_

hi everyone! this is my h. mathilde, i’ve had her since last spring when she was just a few leaves. she grew really steadliy \& relatively quickly but has slowed down the past few months. i keep her under a grow light, she’s in a chunky mix that i water when mostly dry, fertilize regularly with foliage-pro 9-3-6, ambient humidity 55%, i’ve chopped \& propped her once to fill her out \& as far as i can tell she’s not rootbound yet.  
i’d like to continue to grow her trailing but has she stopped growing as quickly because she’s not trellised? should i chop her back again or size her pot up? or maybe do more foliage feeding?

If you don’t want to trellis your Hoya, perhaps some slow-release fertilizer pellets could help. I use Osmocote’s Slow-Release Fertilizer pellets for all of my houseplants, and it’s great for anyone new to fertilizer. Hope this helps 👍
