# hiiiii I need some help😞!!! I got this krimson princess about 2…

_Posted by Gracie on 2026-06-27_

hiiiii I need some help😞!!! I got this krimson princess about 2 weeks ago. I repotted about 1 week ago since I had bought this online and it came with some weird soil to help keep it moist during shipping. The roots were pretty short but looked healthy so I put it in a 3.5 inch pot and have watered it once. Since then the leaves have been drying and dropping like flies 😩 This is my FISRT Hoya ever and it’s not going well, any ideas what might be causing this? I’d appreciate any tips/advice y’all might have!!!

She looks shocked, did you untangle the root ball when repotting? Did you let her acclimate?

#### Gracie replied on 2026-06-28

No root ball since the roots were so short. I thought I waited long enough to let it acclimatize but maybe it was too soon:/

I think she may be shocked, in a few weeks of constant care she should get better!

You could put it in a big zip lock bag and leave it for a few weeks. I find this trick helps me a lot when I have a plant that isn’t doing well/is experiencing shock.
