I wanted to get your thoughts on my Hoya macrophylla albomarginata. I purchased it on 9/29, and it was already established with several long, thick, woody-looking vines, but I’ve seen absolutely no signs of new growth since bringing it home. I have since repotted it, and the roots seemed to be in pretty good condition. The longer vines are still firm and hard, so I don’t think they’re dead, although there’s one little growth point near the front that looks like it may have died off. Several of the vines are also pretty bare, with no leaves toward the ends. What has me questioning things now is the condition of some of the leaves. There appears to be mottling or discoloration, and when I looked closely at the undersides, I noticed quite a few small, raised, tan/brown, almost crusty or corky-looking spots and patches. I’m not sure if this is old physical damage, scale, or possibly flat mite damage. I’m not very experienced with identifying mites, especially flat mites, but I’ve read that they can cause Hoyas to become completely stagnant and develop corky-looking damage on the leaves. I’m trying to figure out if this is simply a slow-growing plant adjusting to a new environment, seasonal slowdown, or if there’s potentially a pest issue preventing new growth. Have you seen anything like this on your Hoyas? I’d really appreciate your thoughts!
