how often are you watering? how much light does each plant get?

#### Lynnie antwortete am 2024-02-06

The one on the left sits about a foot from a n east facing window(partial sun). The other one is about 6ft from an east facing window (partial sun). I water every 2ish weeks

hoya krimson queens sometimes produce white leaves successively, and white leaves can’t photosynthesize or survive so eventually the vine will die off. you can cut it off before the last green leaf or let the vine die naturally, up to you. it looks like it needs more light too.  
your petrosedum also needs more light, the new growth looks really stretched or etiolated

I bought it with the white leaves about 2 months ago and havent had issues until recently.

#### Lynnie antwortete am 2024-02-06

Also i didnt know that the white leaves don’t survive as long! Never realized it! Thx for sharing

I’m not sure that applies to every hoya Krimson Queen. I got mine last summer and she puts out lots of pink/white leaves. She has not dropped any of them. Maybe it’s because she has a lot of green vines as well. She is in a 8 inch pot.

I suspect the soil is holding too much water if the leaves soften and look discolored. They dry crispy if the plant is under watered. My hoyas do well in a chunky mix or a mix with coco coir and a lot of perlite as shown in the picture. Water runs very quickly through the potting mix leaving lots of airflow.

Ok thanks!

On the right hand Hoya are the leaves damp or crispy? I keep mine hanging in an east facing window and water only when the leaves are no longer plump, start to wrinkle, and fold together like a taco easily. Every 3-4 weeks depending on temp and humidity.

#### Lynnie antwortete am 2024-02-06

Only one of the leaves is slightly crispy. The rest feel thin. They can fold easily but dont feel crispy or wet. Its only sporadic on the white leaves. Thankfully not all of them
