Is this the start of a pueduncle?

10 years ago

My hoya fungii has this little fuzzy looking probe emerging from a vine. Is it the start of its first peduncle? Exciting! Unless it's a pest. Then not so exciting lol

    That would be a peduncle, in my opinion. The easiest way for me to tell is by the position of where new leaves grow, and where new stem grows:

    As you can see, yours already has the new stem. Looks like there will not be leaves at the two nodes (I can see the scar where the leaves would attach, but no tiny leaf nubbins). I have never seen as new stem grow right from the middle of another stem, BUT, it probably could happen.

    Looking closely at your second pic, you can make out what appears to be a little circular area with tiny bumps, which is what my teeny peduncles first start out looking like.
