# Happy saturday!! I'm wondering why the newest leaf on my hoya…

_Posted by Maya on 2024-10-19_

Happy saturday!! I'm wondering why the newest leaf on my hoya burtoniae came out yellow. It feels more taut than the others. It is under a grow light and some dappled midday sun.  
The grow light was stressing the leaf as red while it was growing, but then it turned this yellow shade... is that ok?

Appears to be a varigated burtoniae. It's perfectly fine! 🪴

It may be sunstress from being close to the light.

It’s sun stressed which brings out the markings shown. It’s not variegated. My non variegated Hoya Burtoniae shows the sun stressed leaves. It gets direct morning sun which lightens the newest leaves and brings out the dark margins. 🍀🪴
