Troubleshooting
Hoya Mindorensis problems — and how to fix them
Hoya Mindorensis (Hoya mindorensis) 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.
Root rot
Overwatering or heavy soil suffocates roots. Use an airy mix and let it dry well between waterings.
Few or no flowers
Insufficient light. Brighten the position, keep it slightly root-bound, and never cut off the flowering spurs, which rebloom.
Leggy stems
Low light causes wide gaps between leaves. Move to brighter conditions and provide a support to climb.
Mealybugs and aphids
Cluster on buds and new growth. Inspect umbels and stem tips regularly and treat with insecticidal soap or alcohol.
