What's eating my hoya lacunosa?

Hoya lacunosa is an indoor vining houseplant most threatened by mealybugs hiding in its dense clusters of small leaves and along trailing stems. Scale insects attach to woody stems. Spider mites can appear in dry conditions. Its compact growth habit allows pests to multiply unseen, so check closely and often.

White fluffy deposits in leaf clusters and stem joints; honeydew accumulation and weak, stunted new growth Apply isopropyl alcohol with a cotton swab to each cluster; follow with a systemic neem oil spray weekly

Flat, waxy brown bumps on stems; yellowing of leaves and sticky residue beneath the plant Scrape off manually, treat with horticultural oil; repeat every 2–3 weeks until no live scale remains

Pale speckling on tiny leaves and fine webbing in the densest parts of the canopy Shower the plant to dislodge mites, increase humidity, apply neem oil spray every 5–7 days
