My Hoya rope compacta is starting to get soft and wrinkled in some places. The other stands are fine and firm. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. I’ve already lost a couple strands please help!!

Mine did that when it got mealy bugs, check for pests between the leaves

Yes I was about to say that - check thoroughly for mealy bugs and if there aren’t any maybe make sure that strands roots are able to soak up water (the soil isn’t hydrophobic)

Yes agreed act as quickly as possible they’ll suck all the life out. I cleaned with soapy water and q tips. Check the pot, plants surrounding, and what it’s on as well as you don’t want them to come back

I didn’t see any pests on it. Also none around it but I cleaned it anyway. The roots and soil seem fine😩
