This Hoya is about 4 years old and while it looks healthy, some of the leaves have turned white. They are still firm and healthy. Any idea what I am doing wrong?

Looks like a type of variegation, does it have pretty high light exposure?

Yes it does.

i know some plants get ghost leaves, while i’m unsure if hoyas do, ghost leaves are typically “useless” to the plant and prevent growth from being conserved to the rest of the healthier part of the plant! if they are ghost leaves, you can prune them and continue doing so until leaves with better variegation grow in their place :)

White and pink leaves are a feature of the Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen. They don’t harm the plant.

Thank you all. This plant was in my living room, but I moved it a few months ago to a bathroom with a skylight to keep it away from my cats. I guess it was getting more sun than before which may be the reason for the white leaves.

Yep that’s probably why, nothing wrong with a few white leaves, they won’t last forever but they’re pretty to look at
