Hoya Pubicalyx 'Silver Pink' problems — and how to fix them
Hoya Pubicalyx 'Silver Pink' (Hoya pubicalyx 'Silver Pink') 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.
Faded leaf splashing
Insufficient light dulls the silvery flecks. Move to a brighter spot to restore the speckled, sometimes pink-flushed colouring.
Overwatering rot
Soft, yellow leaves follow a mix kept too wet. Let the upper layer dry fully between waterings and use a pot with drainage.
No blooms despite size
Often too little light or removal of the flower spurs. Brighten its position and never cut off the old peduncles, which rebloom each year.
Mealybugs and aphids
Attracted to fast new growth and flower nectar. Wipe with insecticidal soap or alcohol and isolate until the pests are gone.
