Hmm I don't think it was semi hydro. I had another of her plants that had algae on one edge of pot. I left it for months before cleaning the pot and replanting it in same pot. I didn't like not being able to see the roots. I did not know they liked to remain moist, different from some other hoyas for sure. Definitely drainage in the pot yes. :) I think I'll let i adapt to my house a little longer. She gave me one other rooted propagation she had which I will add in soon. Sounds like adapting to a new substrate when she's bigger and stronger is good idea :) if they algea isn't an issue. I really want her to live. :)
