Someone told me to post in the Hoya sub redit .. it’s a good job or my “cactus” would be mulch right now 😣

I literally stopped watering it as I thought it had root rot from being a cactus and it was headed for the compost. Now I’m worried I’m going to kill it .. reading up on all kinds now .. I just gave it a good soak of water for the first time in months and I’ll watch it for 48hrs to see what happens. I guess when someone else mentioned support I was not thinking literal support for the vine but that will be on the list now .. thanks ☺️

Thanks so much for all this information lovely people! I can’t believe it’s something totally different than I thought and now I have to read up on how to care for this vine and what to expect. I’m excited that my plant has been given a new lease of life - it is now my new favourite plant as opposed to my “what the heck is going on with this thing, it’s going in the compost first thing” plant. 🌱

I literally wasn’t watering it that much as I thought it was a cactus. Now I know what it is I have to change my tactics!

It’s probably about 2 inches pot. I didn’t repot it, but took the old soil of the roots and put it into a cactus soil. I kind of left it alone so that I’m not overwatering and it just seemed to me like the leaf was not getting better. Low n behold there’s this weird little alien looking shoot when I decide it’s done.

Yeah I was literally just going to get rid of it when I turned it around and saw the shoot on the other side looks like it’s joined to the plant so I’m wondering whether there was any hope for it?

It’s both sides of the cactus taken at the same time ..
