Anyone who can help me please ?

Pls have some patience. It hasn't even been 24 hrs. There is no express service & we're all volunteers here.

In the meantime, pls take it out the the cache pot & check that no water is collecting in the bottom.

Many here believe moisture meters don't work.

Pls try sending your pix to the Vendor you bought it from & ask them.

Sorry Karen. Didn’t mean to sound impatient. I am just worried about it (my first hoya although I have collected a few during the month...).

There is no water pooling at the bottom. In addition to the moisture meter, I stick my finger in it and it is a bit moist but not wet or soggy at all. I will try sending the picture to the seller and see if they have a thought.

Was that leaf by chance sitting on the soil? Sometimes I see that happen with leaves that were sitting on the soil which means they basically rotted from being too moist. They do occasionally lose leaves. It's not abnormal.

The rest of your plant looks healthy. Sometimes hoyas take some time to adjust and put on new growth. Once you see it putting out new growth then you can sort of breathe a sigh of relief. Until then you will probably worry too much. But I actually think I see a new little leaf forming on one of the tendrils in pic #4.

I would water it only when the pot is completely dry. I don't use a moisture meter. I just don't trust them. I usually lift the pot to see how light it is and sometimes I will touch the soil in the bottom holes to see if it is also completely dry before watering. Then I water all the way through, let it drain in my sink for a bit before putting it back in the cachepot.

Also, don't be afraid of more light for that hoya. She can take it. My Krimson Princess is about 6" from my West-facing sliding glass door and she's loving it.

Try not to worry too much.

I see a very healthy plant (of course, much more delicate than Queen Krimson).

I wish all the problems in our hoyas were a leaf drop.

It is better to sin because you are thirsty to exceed in the irrigation

Thanks everyone. Leaves that fell off was from closed to the substrate. I do see what seems like tiny little growth! (Picture attached). Seller said this was growing outside on a wire rack so try providing better air circulation in bottom drainage holes so i took off the cover pot. I took a picture of what the stems look like in the pot.

Should I try to transfer to terra cotta? Or just continue waiting until completely dry to water? That seems to take about 15-17 days in 4” nursery pot. Does that sound about right? I know they don’t like their roots being disturbed..

Thank you :)

Wow! Karen your KP is absolutely gorgeous!! I will hang tight and keep watching carefully and be patient. Thank you everyone for your advice!

Welcome to the hoya addiction!

I have collected five during the past month!!! Addition is real!

I hear that, Mj! I keep telling myself there are worse addictions. The hoya one is real.

Yes, quite additive as you can see. And DO feel free to ask questions MJ, just give us a bit of time to answer. ;>)

It's fine to post Hoya questions to both forums at once, Hoyas & Houseplants, since they do fall into both categories.

For when the Pandemic is over eventually, one can sometimes find Hoyas at big box stores like Home Depot, for pretty cheap, good ones to practice with.

Hi all! I wanted to provide a quick update after three weeks! I am no longer seeing additional black spots or existing black spots getting bigger. I continued to water only when it’s completely dry (I am doing combination of finger, moisture gauge and lifting the pot as I am getting to know this plant a bit better). And I am seeing some cute new growths!!! I have a lovely pinkish leaf! I know it looks brown in the picture but it is pink!

Thank you all for your help ☺️

Thank you for all

I do love a happy update! Thank you for sharing.
