    These are typically slow growers! Amazing you have had so much growth! It must be loving its environment so much 😄

    You can cut it and plant the cutting back in the same pot to make it fuller.

      do you plant the cuttings straight in the pot after cutting, or let them grow roots in water first?

      Tbh, I am not really sure which method is better with Hoyas. A quick Google search showed a variety of things, but several sites and people did mention water propagation is not always successful. I saw a lot mention pure sphagnum or maybe the perlite method. I wonder if the Fluval/perlite mix might be the best method? Maybe someone on here with more experience can chime in?

      I dip the cuttings in rooting hormone and then plant it right into the pot with the mother plant. Has been fairly successful.

      Many times I loop a branch back around where I can put something on top of it to hold it down on the medium and it will root.

      That’s a good idea too. Then once it roots you can either cut the loop or leave it.

    This looks like the perfect candidate for a trellis loop! I love them for my Hoya. Sometimes I do one, sometimes I do two. Your Kerii looks VERY happy 💕
