My first Hoya is doing really well. Her name is Lola! I got her in a mystery plant box. I repotted her last week because her soil didn’t look great and I think she is thriving. She has grown the large branch and new leaves mostly over this past week. Since she is my first Hoya, I was wondering if I need to get her a trellis soon? Is that necessary for her to be happy?
They can grow well just hanging off the pot. You can get a bamboo u-shaped trellis when it gets unruly. Pubicalyx plants put out lots of growth each season. They are touchy feely too. They like to hug their neighbors.😁
2 Mi piace Haha mine has lots of neighbors to hug that must be why she’s so happy!

It depends on how you’d like it to look once it matures. If you’d like it to become a trailing plant where the leaves hang over the sides, then you can just leave it alone and let it do its thing. If you want it to climb, then a trellis is great for that 😊 hope this helps
2 Mi piace It does help! I appreciate all the helpful advice you share. I admire your knowledge!
1 mi piace Why thank you 😊 really sorry to hear about the shock your pepperspot is going through. Hope it recovers soon 😢
1 mi piace Thank you! It makes me so sad when I see pictures of how beautiful she was when I first got her. I feel like I killed her!
0 Mi piace She should recover in time. It’s always tough to see a favorite plant struggle ❤️
1 mi piaceI let the plant tell me what it needs. If it’s got long vines that sort of go out but not trailing over the edge I put it on a trellis. If it’s unruly I put it on a trellis. But if it’s arching gracefully over the edge, not just leaning I leave it to itself. But I let it tell me what it needs. Is trellis yours. It’s not trailing and doesn’t look like it’s happy. Any trellis will do.
