I am concerned I planted the cutting upside down. This plant has rooted nicely however. No new growth but heathy looking.

Did I plant this upside down?

will it put new growth on if I did plant it upside down?

does anyone have this plant, and if so would you post a picture and/or offer any insight to Hoya Naymanii?

thanks,

Robin

I am not sure if you planted upside down but there is no Hoya naymanii. There is a Hoya named naumanii but your cutting does not look like it. Your cotting looks like Hoya pachyclada. Would you post a pic of front of the leaves?

Leaf #1. Front and back

Leaf#2. Front and back.

Thanks. Robin

Yeah, looks like pachyclada.

It looks like it's upside down, if I read the leaves right and the root at that node looks like it was reaching to some soil, before it was cut. Just my guess.

Jan and tlbean. Thanks for the info. I very easily could have mixed up a tag when I planted back in July. I was one of the foolish that ordered for 3 growers and tried to get everything up and growing as a total rookie. I checked my spreadsheet and a pachyclada was shipped. Yikes

marco. Will I get new growth and will the plant grow taller from the end that is facin up?

I am not sure how to correct this or even if it needs correcting for you to get new growth. The more advanced growers and collectors on this forum should know better than me if new growth will appear. I have an Australis that has 3 'arches' where the grower stuck both ends of a small vine into the soil and new growth appeared from both sides. I have had some hoya cuttings simply root on top of a pot prepped for rooting because I forgot to stick the cutting in (stupid, I know). It made its own way into the world by way of roots sprouting out of everywhere. These are really tough, hardy plants ! (well most of em').

I'm not an expert by any means, but sometimes if my cuttings has goofy shaped leaves or leaves that won't really fit in the pot right side up, I will plant it upside down. Haven't had any problems so far, and new growth seems to appear from just about anywhere anyway. But maybe there is a hormonal situation I'm not aware of so PAGING ALL HOYEXPERTS!

They will root easier when the right side is down, but they will still root this way, and once they root, they'll grow. Pachyclada is a tough cookie, so it'll be fine.

Is it possible it's H. naumannii? I was just going through old threads, saw the spelling and though perhaps they were the same (even though I agree it looks like pachyclada).
