First time with a Hoya and I’m clearly doing something wrong… 😅 indirect light all day. Does it need more/less water? More/less sun? Help!!

Are the leaves mushy or dry \& crispy?

Mushy

Ok that would suggest potentially overwatering…

And what kind of light does it get, and how often do you water it/when do you decide to water it?

What soil are you using? I would suspect when it is watered the soil isn’t drying out fast enough to let the roots get air.

I struggled with my compact until I decided to try treating more like an epiphyt. Mine is now in orchid bark and an orchid pot. Never been happier.
