I purchased a Hoya Sarawak and I guess I overwatered it and leaves fell off. However I took it out of dirt and roots look pretty good. Any hints on resurrecting? Thank you.

It can recover if the roots haven’t rotted. Put it back in fresh soil. Water and fertilize. Let it dry out between watering it. 🪴🍀
