BJ, try posting your pictures in the comments.....below this remark of mine.

They keep deleting some kind of way. I will try 1at a time.

Ok i give up. It will not let me do anymore

I just googled it - look up Capsicum chlorosis virus. I have no idea what it is, but looks like this photo to me - is it?:

VIRUS

From above article: TCSV (Tomato chlorotic spot virus) has recently been detected in ornamental crops including annual vinca (also known as periwinkle), Hoya (Hoya wayetii, commonly known as waxflower) and false Christmas cactus (Schlumbergera truncata).

Destroy the plant before it spreads. Spray everything else for thrips to hopefully kill all infected insects.

Agree with Nil13.

Also, sterilize your cutting tools with flame.

Gosh Rhizo, great catch, what a distinctive looking ailment!! Sorry about the plant BJ.

Sorry BJ. @Rina & Nil13 Thanks, for sharing I learn so much on this forum.

OMG! I tried to google it also and found nothing. Thank you so much. I dont see any pests or insects but did receive plants from Korea with some yellow spotting they said it was from growing outside. Is there no cure.? I'm going to lose my whole collection of hoyas

If it is that virus - and it looks like it - they said plant was destroyed. Maybe that is what you should do. Just the infected plant, and monitor rest of them closely. Sorry that it was sent to you with that kind of disease. More from the site I linked to in previus post:

..."control of virus-laden adults with insecticides is not effective in preventing them from transmitting the virus to plants. Management tactics that are effective in preventing spread of the virus by adult thrips include: ultraviolet-reflective barriers and mulches, systemic acquired resistance inducers (substances that stimulate a plant’s natural “immune system”), conservation of natural enemies, and optimal soil fertility. Additional spread of the virus can occur when larvae feed and develop on infected plants within the field. Careful monitoring and control of the larvae with insecticides is effective in reducing additional spread.

...The thrips vectors develop resistance rapidly to insecticides..."

I would send part (or whole plant) to a research facility nearest to you.

Is this the same thing? Looks the same only in reverse... This is a nightmare. It's hurting my heart. I love my hoyas. No way I will be able to replace them. SMH

Im sorry photos are not showing up.. Again

7th try

Finally!

BJ

Is that on the same plant?

(BTW, are youposting photos from a phone or computer?)

Im using my phone and no. Not The same plant

what a shame!

BJ, reading your posts is breaking my heart. Fingers crossed that the rest of your plants will be okay. I would contact the seller to let them know. This was definitely from a grower in Korea, not Thailand? I have a large order shipping to me from Thailand right now... I will be sure to check all of my leaves.

It was Korea. This is depressing I have lost most of my hoyas. I can not replace them. It's no way. Some were purchased, trades, gifts, etc.

Im trying to stay positive and smile but my heart is broken

Why not quarantine the ones that look diseased, remove the portions that are affected and see if things improve.

Losing plants that were gifted to you or you traded is the worst.

I have been dealing with a horrible situation the past 3 years involving a good friend and it took so much of my emotional energy (nevermind that I have a big family to care for and house) that my plants' care had to be put on the back burner and I lost so many hoyas, some that meant a lot to me through trades. One was a hoya carnosa from an old online friend's grandmother's plant.

I'll never get that back and that was one I was very emotionally attached to.

What plants have you lost? I have been slowly repurchasing what I can the past 4 months. I need time to let things grow out but I would love to trade with you when I can if you'd be up for it.

Try not to let this get you down. I'm sure there are lots of people who would love to trade when you're ready or who would just send you cuttings if they can help. I've seen it before! Plant people are good people ;)

Very sorry about your loss. :(((

You know, last week I received a young hoya mirabilis. One leaf showed iffy markings, I cut it off and threw it away. Now another one has it. And now that I've seen these pictures... It looks similar, don't you think? *panicking*

Though these blotches don't look as distinct to me... I just don't know.

@getgoing100_7b_nj,

I have gotten rid of everything that was affected and ones and the ones that are questionable are quarantined.

And for everyone else.. Thank you for kind words. Im always up for trading but im afraid I don't have alot to offer. Probably ones that everyone has

Lisbeth

I can see, barely, what looks like yellow spots. Are they what you are concerned about? Could you take sharp close up photo of area you are concerned about?

BJ

I am sorry too, and if I had any hoya, I would jus send you cutting...

Pls. follow instructions about sterilizing everything - sorry if I am saying it and you already did. Just a reminder.

I would still send a photo and one of the infected leaves (if you have any) to a local agricultural extension office or university. They may confirm or give you different diagnosis, and they may also want to know of infectious diseases as they happen in the area. Maybe have some other treatment suggestions too.

@Lisbeth Salander (zone 7)

That looks different.that might be a good

@Lisbeth Salander (zone 7) dont think it the same. Might need a better picture and for it to develop more. I’d guess it’s not the same though.

@rina_Ontario,Canada 5a @BJ Gooden@Alex O Yes, the area was blurry in the picture. I tried to make better ones. I think it got worse. It#s h. gracilis, btw, I misspoke.

Sorry for double pic, I don't know how to remove it!

Is it on just 1 leaf?

To me, it is starting to look similar to damage on leaves BJ Gooden posted; but his(hers?) leaves were all yellow.

How long do you own that plant? Where did it came from?

First, I would isolate plant. Second - watch it to see if it ends up as BJ Goodens plants leaves. Hopefully, it is something less problematic.

This is one of the reasons I don't buy from overseas. I would rather wait until I can buy cuttings or trade when they are not so uncommon... Hang in there BJ, and it will all work out.

B J, I too am sorry. I know how it feels to loose some so close to you, and ones you keep spending a ton of money on. I had to throw away many due to root mealy bug . It stinks, but now I have more than back then) Good luck.

Hi BJ,

Do hoyas get thrips?

I hope you've been able to save some.

(I'm not suggesting you had them, I was just wondering.)

I hope you have tried raking lots of Cinnamon into the soil and removing infected leaves

Bugs Rot Fungus and fungus gnats do not like it. Raking it into the soil disrupts the larvae

Spraying peroxide on infection helps

good luck

Does this look the same? my Hoya obovata has this in several leaves
