Hoya microphylla came to me as a very tiny rooted cutting in May of 2023 from my good friend Julie Kennedy. The plant was one of 16 that arrived in the form of a trade, and all of them spent far too much time in the mail. The package spent 3 days just sitting in a postal distribution facility in New Hampshire. When I finally received the package, some of the plants were not in great shape. Hoya microphylla was one of them. After watching it deteriorate for about a week, I looked at the roots which were totally gone. I decided to snip the tiny 2 inch plant and attempted to root it in a small cup of water.
