I’m looking for some advice on repotting Ruffles, my Hoya rope plant. Do I cut the long trailing part or just keep it like this? It’s finally growing good and I want to do what’s best for the plant.🤗

This is an old pic but what I do to fill in my pot is cut some of the long and prop into the pot!

Thanks for the info! Do you stick it right in the soil or put it into water until you get roots?

#### MBS replied on 2026-04-11

I have done it both ways…  
Putting into dirt vs water… dirt took longer to show signs of growth! That was my only observation.

Definitely keep it. If you have someone that could help you that would help eg. hold onto the long vine.

Beautiful rope!

Thank you!

### Kelly commented on 2026-04-11

Your welcome! It’s my dream to have a rope like that!

It took about a year to really get growing. Now I’m hoping she will flower someday.🙂
