# I’m concerned! I bought a Hoya a few weeks ago and it is dropping all…

_Posted by Hannah on 2025-09-11_

I’m concerned! I bought a Hoya a few weeks ago and it is dropping all its leaves! I used the app diagnosis of overwatering and dried with newspaper and planted back in dry soil, but it continues to drop leaves! This is how it looks now - anyone have any advice?

Hi, I’m not a Hoya expert but one of mine dropped leaves after it got a mealy infestation and dropped its leaves after treatment. They grew back though so I suspect yours might have started dropping leaves due to change in environment initially and perhaps hasn’t quite recovered if it’s been repotted. I’m wondering if time will help as long as you water only when it needs and it’s getting good light etc. hopefully you some more experienced Hoya peeps can help too!
