Hi Patrick & Welcome!

Very cute little Serpens you've got there, looks good so far. If you don't know this, this plant's leaves tend to stay small, say no larger than a dime, that's part of its charm.

I see you've just joined today, you might want to read around a bit here first. Generally speaking:

Hoyas do best when potted small, so there's no hurry at all to pot this up bigger. Also repotting &/or potting up are best done in Spring. It's a bit late in the season to fertilize, that's best done while the plant's in its most active growth (Spring/Summer), unless you're growing in warm places like CA or FLA. Bright dappled light is the way to go (as opposed to direct, very bright light or hot sun).

May I suggest you sit back, enjoy your Serpens while it settles to its new home & perhaps use the time to read around here a bit to see what their general care is like.

Thanks for the help. Yeah, I have it in a western window at the moment and I think I'm just going to mist it ever so oftern and when the soil gets dry let it soak up water from the bottom of the container. I just have to make sure not to over water it... the finger test should be ample. I'm only guessing about the misting and soaking from the bottom however.

I think the bottom watering is a good idea.
Seems that all of these smaller leaved hoyas (as well as Dischidias, when potted in soil) do much better with bottom watering....at least in my own experience.

I've read that H. serpens enjoys *cool* and moist surroundings...so hope that info helps!

I totally agree w/pirategirl that there's no hurry to re-pot.

(BTW...Hi PG & hope all's well w/you...I always meant to go back to that Croton thread and return your greeting...but then the thread was gone!)

Your welcome Patrick, happy to help.

Well I hope the rest of you addresss the moisture questions for this Hoya. I had a gorgeous, full pot abt 4-5 yrs. ago which I loved & after a yr. or so I lost it. So I don't remember whether it wanted more moisture or less (just that I obviously did the wrong thing).

Hiya Nan,

I must be having one of those moments as I wonder which Croton thread? But thanks for the thought, always happy to see ya around & I appreciate the returned greeting.

Yeah, I think I'm remembering something abt cool for this also (likely another thing I did wrong for it).
