Hoya wrinkled leaves

Some hoyas naturally have ridged or thin leaves. New loss of firmness in a normally plump leaf suggests inadequate water delivery, which may come from dry mix or failed roots.

Dry mix

Water evenly through the root ball and drain. Allow time for leaves to regain firmness rather than topping up repeatedly. Check that the center accepted water.

Moist mix

Inspect roots if leaves keep thinning or the vine base softens. Remove rotten roots and save firm node cuttings if needed. Return to watering suited to the species: a thin-leaved hoya should not follow the same prolonged drying routine as a thick-leaved one.
