# Any guesses what the issue is here with my Hoya? It’s been declining…

Any guesses what the issue is here with my Hoya? It’s been declining like this for the better of 2 years. Can’t be overwatering (I water when the leaves are soft). I also caved and tried watering more frequently this past spring spring and the leaves turned yellow so i stopped that. Sits in a south-facing window…

I do not know what is wrong but it looks really bad to me. Maybe some sort of rot? I water mine according to how dry the soil is. I use a bamboo skewer to test the moisture and water when it gets pretty dry. Those leaves that are brown at the base are goners I’m afraid. If you can find a local Hoya group on Facebook or something they might be helpful. We have a really good one where I live. I’m in western Washington. Also maybe a fungus? 🤷‍♀️

I’m afraid you’re right since all the bottoms leaves dropped, as you can see. I water when it’s completely dry and the leaves begin to soften but not wilt.

Fungus is an interesting theory. My variegated one is doing the same thing so I figured I’m just doing something wrong 🤦🏻‍♀️ these plants don’t want me lmao

I wonder if water has gotten in the crevice and is sitting there, causing the leaf to rot? Or maybe an infection or pest is living there undisturbed? When my tri-color got root rot the tips are what got mushy first instead of the base.

Thanks! That’s very possible.
