# This is interesting to me. I just recently purchased this little 2”…

This is interesting to me. I just recently purchased this little 2” Hoya Australis Lisa from a greenhouse. On the ride home, a leaf bent in half. I knew that it would die soon. Well, yes, it died and fell off yesterday. BUT, look at how it died. The tip of the leaf is STILL healthy. Just thought I’d share. 🧐💚

Hmmm… very interesting!

That IS interesting! If it was a succulent, I’d say to propagate the part that lived. But Hoya don’t prop without a node unfortunately
