I just found out heart Hoyas won’t grow without a node after buying mine 😭 does this look like there’s some node, or just stem? I can’t tell🧐

you definitely have a node or two! leaves and roots won't grow without them. you're all good

I'm not sure if there is a node. I had a hoya leaf that fell off without a node and placed it in water and it grew roots. The leaf got bigger but no new leaves. Most of the heart hoyas that are single leaf stay that way. Good luck
