Can you post some photos, and tell us about the care? Things like watering, soil, type of pot, amount of sun, fertilizer, will be useful for us to help you. Also, dinner plate Hoya? Is that Hoya imbricata?

Hoya latifolia is the dinner plate hoya. Would need pictures and a description of the conditions it is kept in to help you.

Thank you Kim and Aurorawa, I will post the picture soon.

It is Hoya latifolia, I got it last Friday, one vine was damaged when I open the box so I cut it off, then it keep yellowing, yesterday I have to cut it again because the tip was black, and there are some purple spots on the other side of the leaf. I put my Hoyas near to the south window, it is very bright in the morning. I have not water it yet just mist it a little bit. Thank you so much for helping me.

below is the 3rd cut

This is the south window room for my Hoyas.

Thank you for the help!

Prob just travel shock...should bounce back in a few weeks.The hoya has been tied back for shipping purposes so it will fit in the box.Some of the vines with the growing tip pointed down will yellow back to a certain point then stop.This one likes to be on the dry side so water when the soil is completely dry.If multiple leaves start yellow as well then there might be a problem indicating root rot.

Thank you so much Jimmy, I will keep my eye on it, thank you.

I agree with Jimmy on all points. I killed the first latifolia I bought from the same seller (I recognize the tag ;) by watering it too soon after arrival and it rotted. I would completely hold off on watering until it tells you it's thirsty. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

P.S. Not good advice to transplant a struggling plant, but I have down-potted and/or changed soil on a couple more succulent type Hoyas that were too wet upon arrival and that stopped the yellowing/saved the plants.

Thank you tawnygrisette for your advice, I will check the soil this afternoon and update later next week.

Hey nataliewei, PM me if you get this about your latifolia. :)

Natalie, your latifolia looks healthy. It will be fine, just water when dry and keep an eye on it for awhile. The dark spots under the leaves is nothing to worry about - it's probably been grown outside and it's not unusual to get little scars from anything from wind damage to critter nibbles, and not necessarily the kind you have to worry about inside. This is one of my favorite Hoyas for it's huge leaves, and how super-succulent they get as they age! You'll love it!

Thank you Denise, yes my latifolia looks much better this morning, I have changed the soil and pot, seems every is fine, and I will update on Friday to make sure they are doing well, thank you.

Natalie, I bought a young latifolia this May and it had those spots, same as yours. It has grown fast for me but all new leaves have a few spots on them and some of the same scaring on the undersides from when I knocked the poor thing over. One pic shows the front but you can't see the spots a well and a rear view that show some of the spots. As Denise said, some leaves have some "chewed up" edges on them too. But this is happy as a clam and growing larger and larger leaves all the time.

Now the reverse side.

I agree, Denise is absolutely right, we both (or all 3 of us) have happy plants. It's just that our plants leaves aren't just content with showing off how big they can get but they add freckles and ruffles to improve their appearance. Some Hoyas can be a bit arrogant ! LOL !

Gorgeous, Marco!

Marco, what is the plant off to the left, the variegated one?

Denise in Omaha

Thanks, tawny ! Yours should do just as well, you wait and see. I have found this to be one tough little plant with big honking beautiful leaves and if Doug's thread was any indication, big honking BLOOMS !

Denise, the one next to it is my Incrassata moonshadow. It is on the bottom of a small 4 tier metal stand growing upwards. The variegation ranges from extreme to light and darker subtle swirls, and a few vines have reverted back to green. This one is very thirsty and grows like a weed. On the top shelf, I put a Merrillii to hang down.

Pardon my hi-jacking your thread for a moment, Natalie.

I love discovering new species and it is fun to match experiences and learn with some one else here also starting the same one(s). Hoyas are so interesting and complicated for this simple ole New England farm boy but they start to grow on you quickly ! (and anything else that aint nailed down, too !).

Is that moon shadow in a 4 inch pot? Its so pretty!

I feel like your merrillii leaves look a bit different than mine....
