If you wait to water until a Hoya has flimsy or pruny leaves, eventually the chronic underwatering will cause the leaves will not recover as well. The leaves will slowly get thinner and thinner until they reach the point that a “normal” underwater time period will cause leaves to brown, yellow, and fall off. Plant Hoyas in a very barky substrate mix and water when the mixture is almost dry right up next to the roots. I plant my Hoyas in leca or pon, which compacta love! Hope that helps everyone!

all my hoyas are either in sohagnum, hydroponics, or semi hydroponics!

Agreed. I don't let any of my hoyas prune before watering... Just the leaves getting softer is enough. I can't imagine letting them dehydrate like that all the time!

Thank you!! I had 3 Hoya compacta variegata that have died. 2 were small cuttings and 1 was a very established plant I found during travels. I listened to multiple plant KZitemrs saying wait until they leaf is flexible or even wait until it starts resembling a raisin and then water. And every freaking time they’d die within 6 months!! So I just got my forth plant and I’m like fuck that, I’m watering it more often I’m at 5 months and so far so good. Thanks. Also that explains why my cuttings of my Kringle 8 won’t freaking drink! They’re all bendy and it’s like no matter how much water I give em they will not plump up! The plant I took the cuttings from are fine but they’ve not gone through the same drought like conditions the cuttings have. (They were in a prop box and every time I checked on em for the 1st month or 2 the moisture was still high. And I stopped checking on them as often until I’d accidentally forget about em for long periods of time) But seriously I’ve been struggling w this and no plant KZitemrs would mention what you said and I thought I was the only one that was happening to.

Yikes that’s terrible advice - please DO NOT WAIT TO YOUR ENTIRE COMPACTA OR ANY HOYA IS COMPLETELY PRUNED, that will cause MAJOR DAMAGE! Damage that IS NOT REVIEWED ERSIBLE. My Hoyas flower when I give them “longer” light times - not “more intense strong light” I have over 100 species of hoya, and this is not good advice . I had to speak up or I would be so upset with myself

No offence but thinking that keeping a H. carnosa alive for two years is a long time made me chuckle. 😄 I have a cutting of my great grandad's carnosa that is at least from 1940 (photo proof of that), that sucker has survived wartime, being in dark unlit corners of the house and being forgotten in a black plastic bag for months after a move. When at my parents house it grew in a dark corner, climbed up the wall and along the ceiling (around 6 meters) to get to the lamp above the dining room table, where it happily bloomed.

Gave mine serious root rot because I didn't realize the separate plants had had their roots wrapped in mesh fabric before they were planted in the pot. As the roots grew they wrapped around the inside of the mesh which retained water more than the soil did and kept them wet. I'm currently trying to reroot it so wish me luck!

My hoya carnosa compacta variegata is happy and growing - but all of it's now leaves are variegated/light pink. Any tips on getting more green leaves? They are watered well, in an airy soil w lots of bark and they get 12 hours of grow light per day.

I don’t really have a schedule, just when it seems dry. I recently refreshed the soil and discovered that it’s roots are really shallow, no breakage. Looks like they were just cutting potted up. The pot it was in was too big for it’s root system. I repotted it with new soil and watered it but these weird mushrooms in it also. I finally took the cuttings out, split them up and have one in Pon and the others are in water until I can figure out how to properly pot them up.
