# Does anyone have a Hoya Imbricata?? I’m trying to attach it to a moss…

_Posted by Madderdebs on 2025-07-15_

Does anyone have a Hoya Imbricata?? I’m trying to attach it to a moss “wall”. The leaves are its little taco shape.. do I want to try and force them flat or does it happen naturally as it attaches itself??

Attach it to a flat board to get it to flatten itself out. A thin board will also take up less room than the moss pole.

I’ve got it attached to a flat board that has the moss on it. I now realize it’s hard to tell that from the picture. Her personal “spa” arrives from Amazon tomorrow, maybe with the added warmth and humidity it will have a chance to attach itself

I didn’t explain well. They don’t need moss. They attach directly to hard surfaces like tree bark. I would keep try with the moss. Then, try it without moss.

As it vines it will attach itself to attachable surfaces within reach
