Hi
I suggest to make some new cuttings just to be on the safe side.
Take out the remaining plant of the pot. look at the root system and examine if there are rotten parts . Cut the rotten parts with sharp knife above the rotten aria. Sprinkle cinnamon powder on the new cuts and pot it back with new potting mix.
Hope you will be able to save it.

Thank you for your quick response - I took the small cuttings out of the soil and they seem to look ok? Mindu I am not a root specialist - lol. Unfortunately because it is only a small cutting I cant really take cuttings from it. Anyways this is the roots - dont know if you can tell anything from the photo or not?

Hi,
It is hard to see from the picture.You need to feel if the stem near the roots is hard or soft.
I think that you need to put them back with the soil mix and keep them moist and hot. If you can put them back to the aquarium it will help. Don't forget to open the cover for some minutes every day and to spry on them with water in comfortable temperature.

Thank you again so very much! I decided to put the small cuttings into 3 small pots - I hope to at least save one that way? I will put them in the aquarium also - Thanks again for your quick response!

The roots on those cuttings look good. I find that my plant looses leaves every now and then and it is always due to being too dry. Have you tried keeping the plant a little more moist? Hoya serpens and Hoya carnosa both do well in cooler weather, is your plant near a heater or otherwise too warm?
I would put the cuttings in your Hoya ICU and keep an eye on them if you are worried about them. With the higher humidity I am sure they will perk up again.

Well originally I had them in my kitchen basically just above my sink on a shelf there. I just recently moved it into the hall area with a fair amount of light. Maybe it misses the fact of the humidity from the kitchen sink? for a little plant it lost about 5 leaves = which it had never done before so it made me a little worried. I hope I can at least save something from the 3 cuttings (which I had planted all together after they had all rooted nicely) Cause then it made a nicer sized plant. but at this moment I just want to be sure I can save something from it, if in fact its on its way out.
The roots looked pretty good - I thought - no black or mushy stuff. Anyways I hope your right Mike and it was just loosing leaves because of the dryness. I try to water them just a little - cause I know people for the most part kill plants from over watering. so I normally just water a little at a time. I will try keeping it a little more moist and see how it goes. Thank you!

Watering a little at a time is (unfortunately) not good for your plants. You should pls. water 'til you see some come out the bottom of the pot, then you'll know the water DID get to the roots. (Small sips of water tend to do nothing.) One can always pour off the excess water after a few minutes.

Golden, the roots look healthy. I think keep in ICU will be good for the cuttings. I agree with PG about watering little at a time is not good for the plants.
Good luck!!

It looks fine, and I agree that you were probably keeping it too dry. I used to think Hoyas (in general) were best allowed to dry out, but several years ago, I read an article by a gentleman who said he believed they shouldn't be allowed to dry out too much and he wondered where that advice had originated. Since then, most of my Hoyas are watered as PG described (until it runs out the drainage holes), the excess water dumped out after about 15 minutes, then before they get too dry, I water again. They seem lusher, the foliage shinier, and I have an easier time blooming most species.

I think they'll be fine. I like my 'Mathilde' too. It's a cutie!

Well thank you guys for all your help and advice - I can always count on you for great advice! I'll let you know how it goes ! Thanks again, very much appreciated!

Sometimes plants sulk when they are moved from one location to another. It takes quite some time for the chloroplasts in a plants leaf to adjust their position to a change in light levels so any sudden drastic change can cause leaf drop etc., often new leaves will develop in response to the change. There was a great lecture on light at an orchid society meeting last fall and this point was stressed. Once you find a good place for a plant keep it there, don't move it around if you can help it.
Because you are dealing with cuttings I think they will be fine. I have cuttings stall in their growth or experience die back of new growth but inevitably they respond with strong growth, it just takes some time in most cases.
