Ugh, Hoya issues

Can anyone guess what us going on with some of these leaves?

Also, some leaves show dry tips (getting a little brittle/crispy like) then get yellow down to the middle.

I thought it was mites and gave them all a treatment of Forbid. Unless these are some super duper resistant mites, Forbid should have knocked the s- - t out of them.

In the last week to 10 days I have lost SP NS07-134, Acuta EPC 759, Mindorensis Pink, EPC 233 and Merrillii. I'm devastated for the loss of these plants (and the money) especially since they had been thriving.

Hard to tell,but most hoya loss is from over watering and compacted soil that stays wet too long.Appears to be dehydrated leaves prob from roots staying too wet.

I found this "pest" dead on a leaf. Good thing it was dead but probably due to me spraying with forbid and imidacloprid. Does someone know what it is???

That little speck on the napkin is the pest.

It's not a pest, it's a spider...probably feeding on whatever was feeding on your hoyas.....

Unfortunately I can't tell you what's wrong with your plants....I would have guessed mites too....good luck finding out what's going on....
