I bought this lightly rooted cutting in July. It arrives in a clear plastic mini cup with chunky soil and that's how I've kept it. It has not grown whatsoever since arriving 4 months ago. Recently while looking into the soil through the clear cup, I thought the roots looked brown. So unpotted today to check for rot. It has had no other outward symptoms other than not growing. It's clear some of the roots are rotted bc of the fine stringy appearance. However there are also sections of root that still appear plump and white, and there are many areas along the stem that look like potential for new root spots.
I'm unclear where to go from here. I potted it back up into a teeny tiny terracotta pot with my hoya mix (20% potting soil, 20%perlite, 20%leca balls, 20% orchid bark, 20% earth worm castings) and put it into my "humidity section." Do I leave it alone and watch it, or will the rot spread to the healthy parts? Do I trim the stringy parts and repot like that? Do I cut the stem and attempt to prop? I've never propagated a hoya cutting in my life. But I do have leca available. This was a VERY expensive cutting and I feel like I only have one shot at fixing this .
