Looking good, Lourdes!
I am watering today,and have been checking out the SH plant's progress.
I put, last month, the following Hoya into SH:

H. fuscomarginata (root-rot)
H. obscura (wasn't growing)
H. citrina (root-rot)
H. subcalva (wasn't growing)
H. multiflora IML153 (is fussy)
H. incrassata (just as an experiment)
H. sp. Thai #3 (experiment)

Checking them today, every single one except H. sp. Thai #3 has new growth and is looking quite healthy. Even sp, Thai #3 looks good, just no new growth.
I made a hanging SH pot for obscura, here it is from below. I used the same method as a regular SH home-made pot, I just put the holes higher. I tip out extra water so that the reservoir stays half full, so the pot doesn't spill water if it is bumped.
