Hi fellow plant lovers! I have a Hoya rope plant that is dropping these… any idea what would be causing the dropping? Also, the leaves seem a bit yellow to me. Thank you for any insight you might have!

I know nothing about Hoyas, but I would for sure propagate those!

Thanks, probably good advice!

If that is white webbing that I think I can see then it has spider mites

The left picture looks like a succulent leaf. Put that on top of succulent/cactus soil, mist once and leave it alone. It will plant roots into the soil by itself as the baby plant takes nutrients from the mother leaf.

Fertilize the compacta regularly with a liquid fertilizer. Low fertilizer can cause yellowing. Give it bright light and not direct sunlight which can cause yellowing as well. A grow light works too.

Water after the soil is completely dry. Both overwatering and dehydration can cause yellowing. 🪴🍀

I think I have some serious work to do with this particular plant!
