# Help! I don't know what's going on with my Hoya. I don't see any type…

_Posted by Darlene on 2026-06-13_

Help! I don't know what's going on with my Hoya. I don't see any type of bug or spider mite but she's not looking good. Any help is appreciated. Ty in advance! P.S. She's still in the nursery pot she came in months ago if that matters.

If she’s root bound or has root rot that could be why

### LeafyGreenhouse commented on 2026-06-13

I agree she looks like she has rot

### PLANTS!!🪴🌱 commented on 2026-06-13

Cut off the rotted leaves

### plantgeek commented on 2026-06-13

looks like beginnings of root rot. hoya are semi-succulents and need well draining soil, what it's in now looks too dense. repot asap. you can cut affected leaves or not, up to you, but soil needs changed

### JR commented on 2026-06-13

Once repotted, don’t water till completely dry

### Darlene commented on 2026-06-13

Ty all very much! I rinsed her roots off so I could see anything questionable. There were a couple that didn't look good, so I cut them off. But overall they weren't that bad. I cut off a couple of leaves, which just about killed me to do.I repotted her in a fast draining mix. I'll give her a day to dry out and then give her a sip of water. Ty all for your help! It's much appreciated.
