HELP!!! My Hoya Carnosa ‘Jade’ is looking very sad. I went on vacation for the weekend, when I left the soil was damp so I thought I was okay till I got back two days later. When I got back it was dry and the leaves were wilted and curled. I watered it a little and now it’s dropping leaves and the leaves still are wilted and feel dry. Did I kill my plant? If not, what do I do?
It might recover, but it's definitely in dire straits. I'd give it a long bottom watering soak. Like 20+ minutes. Then make sure it drains really well so the roots don't sit in stagnant water. After that, just wait and watch. Since it has almost no leaves, it'll be slow to use the water in the soil, so your next watering session will have to go by soil dryness rather than any set time. You can also try playing music; plants like sound :)
