Hoya Cumingiana Yellow problems — and how to fix them
Hoya Cumingiana Yellow (Hoya cumingiana 'Yellow') is generally forgiving once you match its basics, but a few issues come up again and again. Here is what each one looks like, why it happens, and the fix.
Leggy, stretched growth
Insufficient light makes the bushy habit sparse and floppy. Move to brighter indirect light to restore compactness and bloom.
Yellowing leaves
Most often overwatering in a dense mix. Let the airy medium dry further between waterings and check that the pot drains.
Few or no flowers
Too little light or an immature plant. Give bright light, feed lightly with potassium as buds set, and never cut off spent flower spurs.
Mealybugs
Cottony clusters hide among the dense small leaves. Inspect often, dab with isopropyl alcohol, and treat with insecticidal soap or neem if they spread.
