it looks like it could be variegated! are they hard like the green leaves or squishy?

Mine tend to do that when they are getting to much light/direct sunlight could be stress

### Plant Intern 🤓 commented on 2024-03-22

I’ve noticed if I give it a more filtered light the green comes back

Hi, I’m new to Hoyas.  
Could the yellowing indicate too much moisture? Thanks 🪴

i don’t believe lipstick plants are hoya. i don’t have any lipsticks but i have a few hoya \& i have overwatered before \& gotten yellow leaves that eventually get squishy \& need to be picked out 😅
