Why do the Hoya Australis leaves show these bumps and patterns on the green leaves ? Any idea Planta friends ?

Hmmm...I only have one Hoya but the leaves don't do this. 🤔

Either overwatered or no humidity

If you don’t water much, could be under watering too. If you haven’t transplanted recently then it could be temperature as well. As always underwatering is better than overwatering as it’s easier to treat

But on further inspection… I’m noticing a lot of white speckles all over the plant. Have you inspected the leaves for pests? Pests could also cause new leaves to be wrinkled

No pests noticed. The plant was overwatered when I purchased it and sold to me by a pushy salesperson. It also had leaves falling off at that time. I know Hoyas don’t need frequent watering and I follow the Planta care plan for all my plants. Maybe the plant has some particular fertilizer that I should be using and I should check for when to water since the weather keeps on fluctuating where I live. Thanks for the input.
