# After one full year of zero growth, this little plant has two, maybe…

_Posted by 🪴R😍BIN🪴 on 2026-05-21_

After one full year of zero growth, this little plant has two, maybe three new leaves! I’m so excited! I see so many pictures of beautiful Hoyas out there and I wonder to myself, “why can’t I get it right?” Hopefully after several repots and location changes, I found the right mix. I’m crossing my fingers, hoping to one day have an incredibly beautiful and healthy Hoya. Any tips would be appreciated.

Grow lights make all the difference for me

Me too. Once I had more than three plants in front of the window. It was too many. It still took me very long to a year after I started collecting more, I needed to get more lights. I love Barrina brand lights. You can get them on amazon. There’s quite a variety. I’m just getting puck lights put on the under side of each shelf. Then you can light from above instead of having all the clamp on lights I gave. So many you can’t see through all the arms to the plants. But grow lights are a most needed plant accessory.

Yes! I bought the Barrina strip lights for the shelves. Put magnetic tape under the shelves and the lights attached to it perfectly.
