# I had noticed my Hoyas leaves weren’t as hardy, she just overall…

_Posted by Bri on 2025-08-23_

I had noticed my Hoyas leaves weren’t as hardy, she just overall looked like something was off. Well I was right and caught her roots rotting but I think I caught it in time. So sad she’s my only his and been growing perfect for the past like 6-7 months. My questions are what now ? Do I keep her in water ? Or do I put her back into soil ?

Chop off any roots that are brown or mushy and treat with peroxide. You can put her back in soil but make sure the pot has good drainage

Thank you ! Yeah I cleaned her all off and everything I just wasn’t sure if I should just pot her back up or have her in water for a bit 😅

Was she in water before? Is that what she's used to?

No she was in soil previously ! I just wasn’t sure what the next step was she’s my only Hoya 😅
