Can anyone tell me why my Hoya has dark spots on the leaf on the left? The leaf on the right was just put out and looks perfectly fine but the left one has dark spots. Let me know if you can’t tell from the picture 😅 hoyas are so over my head

Typically incongruent watering causes this. Make sure not to water your Hoya until the soil is dry, even if Planta insists. 💕

Ok I’ve definitely been doing that 😥 I wait a long time between waters and I use distilled, could it be something else? Maybe I’m not waiting as long as I think
