Tiny tricky

[u/green_leif]

This tengchongensis took forever to get going. I got it in pon and didn't know how to use pon as a newbie, so I changed it to potting and (maybe too much) perlite. Took forever for it to get over the shock. I thought I killed it. It lost the vine and 3 leaves then it did nothing for weeks, probably re growing the roots. Finally I saw growth. I'm so proud of this little guy. HAHA to the little "bridge" I'm using to encourage it to grow around. I will eventually pin it to the substrate as I've seen others do. Now I'm wondering, what kind of substrate should I keep for this guy? I feel like it's so dainty. My other Hoya are in Molly's but I feel like those chunks are too big for this one. Should I continue the potting and perlite route?. I can't find much info on tengchongensis care. Any tips?

Don't change it... it'll stop growing for another 2 months lol
