I have the most beautiful Hindu Rope Hoya that I love so much. She’s only produced one rope… any suggestions on how to encourage more?

She will only produce more if you chop it. I would cut in the spot where it looks bare, remove the bottom leaves and propagate by sticking it back in the soil, next to your main plant.

It is. But the worst thing that can happen is that you will lose your propagation. The mother plant will be fine and she will only branch out. But do expect to see that propagation shrivel up and look horrible for a couple of months while it roots. After that, she will plump back up and put out new growth 🥰
2 J'aimeWhen I do chop & prop the cutting should have 4-5 leaves. If your cutting has enough leaves, cut it in 1/2 then you have 2 propagations in case one does fail.
