Love the hoya! (Just a little tip I learned from mine. Hoya Carnosa tend to be a little faster in terms of growth rate than other Hoyas, but if you want to speed up getting some new growth, keeping them more snug in their pots really seems to help. I tend to find this to be the case with most of the epiphytes I’ve cared for, so my rule of thumb is repotting it in a pot no more than 1-2 inches wider in diameter than the width of the plant’s root ball, then keeping it in a Hoya-specific mix or Espoma’s Organic Cactus and Succulent Mix. If you do plan on repotting it, especially since it’s the winter, wait at least 2 weeks to a month to let it acclimate to its new environment before you repot it. And covering any exposed roots with Bonide’s Rooting Hormone Powder helps reduce the risk of shock from repotting. Good luck with the new plants! They look great! 😁
