Why isn't it growing? This is a bit of an old photo but it looks the exact same except the nub at the top dried. This is one of my first and only hoyas so I'm not expert

      Hoya kerrii may not be growing due to insufficient light, improper watering (either too much or too little), temperature ex-tremes, or being root-bound. To encourage growth, provide bright, indirect light, water only when the soil is completely dry, use a well-draining soil mix, maintain warm temperatures (60-80°F), and consider infrequent fertilization. Also, remember that single-leaf cuttings typically won't grow into a full plant.

      I'm thinking not enough light or not enough water... We'll see i guess

    I feel like most Hoya are slow growers compared to other popular houseplants like pothos or philos. It could just need more light or nutrients or something. It’s hard to say why yours specifically isn’t growing unless I know the plant’s environment and past conditions

    it probably needs more light. that’s usually the answer for a slow growing hoya. and i see you have the site marked as “shade”— definitely gradually increase the light and it will grow more. only water when the soil is about half to mostly dry, which should increase in frequency as you increase the light. good luck 🌱

    The plant looks healthy. It’s probably insufficient light. I had some grow lights about 6 inches away from my small starter plants. Hardly any growth on my any of them or thru put out a new vine that took months to grow a leaf. I put some outside in bright shade and some under a stronger grow light. They all doubled in length after one summer. My original lights were too weak. Be sure to regularly fertilize in the warmer months. 🪴🍀
