# I got a rather expensive Hoya Polyneura cutting in moss. It…

_Posted by Sunny on 2024-07-29_

I got a rather expensive Hoya Polyneura cutting in moss. It immediately began dropping all leaves except one. I thought it was close to dead. So, I put it in the plant graveyard outside in a pot where a fern was resting in peace. It turns out it chose life and put out a new growth point with 4 new leaves. The fern resurrected and put out new growth, as well. 😆

Haha sweet! What made you think it was dead?

It had that one dangly leaf after dropping all of the other beautiful larger leaves while in water. I took a chance it might have a 10% chance of talking to soil. I got lucky!😆

Aah I see. I chopped my polyneura maybe 3 weeks ago because it was starting to yellow on the top two sets of leaves. I’m taking a chance on it now but the roots have taken off like crazy so we’ll see.
