Mine is doing the same! Fingers crossed someone has answers 😢

Environmental stress. Under watering the leaves curl upward. Overwatering the leaves may curl downward. I know my Hoyas like between 50% to 70% humidity. Check to see if you’re close to heat/air vent as well.

The only thing I would add to the advice already given is that you should water consistently. If possible, check for root rot.

I forgot. I also mist them every day

That’s a long plant. It might need repotting. Check the roots to see if there are more roots than soil. Check for root rot in case it’s over watered. Check for dry rot in case it’s under watered.

I would leave it in one location near a window where it can get 8 hours of indirect sunlight. A grow light would be better. 🪴🍀
