Hello all new to Hoya’s. I have recently purchased a variegated Hoya rope. The leaves are mushy. Any tips? Is it just trauma from the journey?

Mushy is never a good sign. I’d wait a day after watering and then gently lift the whole plant out of the pot to check the roots. If they’re fine then I’d leave it alone. It might drop a few leaves, but that’s normal for plant shock. If the roots look rotted/smell gross then I’d deal with that. Also, if the pot is too bit for the root ball then I’d downsize.

Thank you so very much. Do they like bottom watered? I received it last Thursday and I have only pulled off about a dozen or so of the leaves and that was the first two days it doesn’t smell I might be past the trauma stage. I have it by a grow light but not directly.

They can handle either bottom or top. But they do not like to be overwatered. You can always error on the side of under-watering with Hoya’s, especially ones with thick leaves like a Rope Hoya.
