So notice how the end of the Hoya went from green to light brown. I think it started to rot. So I cut off the brown part. Far enough back so I could see green. Maybe this is the reason why it wasn’t growing. Possibly bc a rot/fungal issue brewing? So I’ll keep an eye on it. And hopefully this possibly promotes new growth. Any thoughts on what the actual issue is/was? And did I do everything to prevent it from spreading?
