I've had this cutting since August or September of last year. I kept it in the water tube it came in for a week then moved to perlite for two months. It had plenty of roots then. Since then I've gotten no growth though. Is it okay how I've potted it? I'm pretty it has a exposed node opposite of one leaf that I expected a new vine by now. I also don't remember the name of. Some type of pink allusion?

Hoyas will be SLOW when they’re growing from a small cutting.
I had one that was just a few leaves and I think it was two or three years before it really put out any significant growth!
They’ll really prioritize root growth first if they have sufficient light, and will push out leaves once they feel they’ve got a good root system. It takes a lot of (aggravating) patience when they’re just a small cutting like this. But once it takes off, it’ll keep going pretty fast!
Hi, I’m no expert, and recently picked up some carnosa props from my MIL😉 After puting them in the pot they did nothing, then I’ve read an advice from here to spray them with diluted orchid fertilizer, and they grow like crazy😉 same with two baby plants I got from shop, krimson queen and burtoniae.
J’ai une hoya Mathilde, elle s’est mise en veille plusieurs mois lorsque je l’ai reçu, ensuite elle s’est mise a pousser. Alors, patience 🙏
Give it lots of sun, keep it moist, and maybe start a balanced fertilizer. If you don’t see growth in the next few months, there could be a pest problem like flat mites, but for now I wouldn’t worry about that yet.
This looks like a Pubicalyx Pink Silver Ghost. Are both ends of the stem in soil?
Cuttings I got took 1 – 2 years. One took off like crazy and others popped one or two leaves.
