She looked a little messy and kooky (no offense) with all her vines looped in big circles on a tight acrylic arch. She needed this so bad!! Just the bamboo arch is a huge improvement IMO.
I'm almost worried I should have cut back some roots cause there were some kind of yucky looking ones. The substrate around her stem was soil and small perlite mix that I find too stifling for hoyas. She had mostly small orcchicata besides that which I also don't prefer. So now it's in a nice big pot with a very chunky mix of larger sized orcchicata, some other bark and geolite balls. I put a small layer of lava rock at the bottom just to help it not be so top heavy… And save some soil mix, and help keep the trellis in place hopefully.
Hope she thrives in her new home.
