My hoya cutting. I removed three base leaves and that means it has three nodes for it to grow roots, as well as 5 healthy leaves still attached. So will root and be successful. Any tips will help.

It looks good. I would add perlite to increase drainage and increase oxygen to the roots. Hoyas like their soil to quickly dry. Let it dry completely before watering.

The soil it is in drains almost as instantly as cacti soil, which means it drains fast and this is helped by the 8 drainage holes at the bottom.
