# Please help!!! I'm not sure what to do at this point. As I'm learning…

_Posted by Cat\&Plants on 2025-03-19_

Please help!!! I'm not sure what to do at this point. As I'm learning I realized I should have left it in it's nursery pot, but before I knew that I repotted it and the soil wasn't draining enough. Now it's lost several leafs and others are barely holding on. I'm not sure if I should remove the bottom two leaves. I also put in back in a smaller pot like it came with. The roots and everything were very wet so I just put it in dry soil and have not watered it hoping the roots will dry out. Sorry for the long winded post. I'll add a few pictures. I'll add what it looked like before and now :(

Hi there, sorry about what happened to your hoya. Sad to say, but it looks like only a miracle may save it. Not sure how long you have waited before repotting it, but I usually leave any new plants that need to be repotted at least 2 weeks in their own pots, to readjust to the new environment, then I repot them accordingly. Basically, we don’t want to “stress” them. Sorry again for your plant.

Thank you, yes I'm hoping for a miracle too! 🙏🏻

They Reroot very easily. Chop and prop in a light mix. You’ll have a new beautiful baby in no time 😊

Thank you, where would I chop?

Hard to mark these pics up but basically cut just above the bottom leaf and just above the yellow stem below the bottom leaf. Pin both leaves to the substrate. Keep it moist not wet. Roots will form at the node where the petioles meet the leaves. The extra stem is just an anchor.

If you can post another pic Showing the leaves that are left and the nodes I can mark it up. I see what looks like a good note but I think I’m seeing yellow vine beneath it.
