yellow leaves on Hoya Vitellina
Quick answer
If your Hoya Vitellina has yellow leaves, the most likely cause is: On Hoya vines, yellowing foliage appears when the plant has been kept too dry for too long, or conversely when it has been left sitting in standing water that suffocates the roots and prevents normal uptake of moisture.
Start here:
- 1. Water the plant thoroughly until water drains from the pot, then empty the saucer after thirty minutes so the roots are never left in standing water.
- 2. Adjust the routine so the soil is allowed to mostly dry between waterings and the plant is never allowed to desiccate for long stretches.
