This is my Hoya Carnosa. I want it to look fuller at the top but I’m scared to cut it. Any tips?

Hii! You can definitely prop it when you’re ready. Hoyas are very easy and can grow from a single node prop. Most of mine are from individual leaves :)

maybe circle trellis?

never be scared to cut them up! cutting your plants triggers them to produce more growth hormones, which not only prevents balding, but makes them nice and bushy. you also get free baby plants !!!

Unfortunately, that is how you trigger plants to grow more from the middle though. If you like this length, you could always mark it in your mind, and then when it gets past this length trim it and propagate it, and plant back in the middle? Or do it now. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I have a different kind of Hoya that I was trimming the little tips on that didn’t have any growth from the nursery or wherever it came from. Now they have little tiny leaves coming out of them. 😂

Update: I cut the two longer vines. Propagating two pieces in water and I put two pieces back in the dirt. Wish me luck!
