What should I do since the runners reached the top? I tried wrapping the largest one back down the macrame, but it won’t stick. Should I just cut it back?

Try propagating it and filling your pot out!

Thank you! I wasn’t sure if it’d grow since there’s no leaves at the tippy top but I’ll try!

I’d cut it below the last leaf and propagate it from there, I’m trying to propagate my obisium from a bare vine right now. I’ll try and share updates if I remember!

If you do ever want to wrap it the other way, I use little twisty ties on my Hoya when it’s soft and new, until the branch hardens and then I take it off and I move it to the next place that needs support.

Twist ties are such a good idea!!
