Does anyone know why my Hoya rope is getting wrinkly leaves? I follow plants watering schedule but I am trying to figure if it’s not enough? No dead leaves or growing leaves just wrinkly ones.

Wrinkled leaves indicate an under watered plants. The plant app doesn’t take this into account. So, you have to always check the soil for dryness and look at the plant for indications it needs water like signs of wrinkles and drooping. 🪴🍀

Also, thoroughly water to ensure all of the soil is saturated with water. These plants are often many individual vines in one pot. Watering only parts of the soil can leave some vines under watered. You can bottom water by setting the pot in water until the top soil is moist. This gets water to all of the soil by a wicking action. You can also fully water on top until lots of water flows out the drain holes. 🪴🍀

The wrinkling can also happen with overwatering—> root rot—> thirsty plant
