hoya usually like being in a small pot, mine have never had a problem with dishsoap either (i usually have a drop of vinegar in my soap water mix but that might just be me) so this might be after effects of the mealy bugs. I would take a healthy cutting, wash it, then put it in damp soil or water to root a back up (i for one have had better luck with water rooting but it can also stress the plant if you switch it back to soil later. so most go the soil route right from the begining)

It looks like one of the Hoya carnosas. Experts, what do you think?

As far as the condition - did you soak the whole thing, pot and all, in the mixture you used, or just spray it? If you just sprayed it, the problem could definitely still be in the soil. Has it been in the same pot and soil its entire life? Is there even any soil in there, or is it all roots?

Is it just me or does that look like a krimson princess that has almost totally reverted? Those couple of leaves at the very top look more like that than sunburn.

it does look like that.... which is cool, the stems are a lot darker than my princess so i couldnt be sure

@Auroarawa88 Yes drying the plant in the sun may be part of the problem. I went to a hydroponics store and they recommended flushing the plant with water (i let water sit overnight) which I did yesterday and also left the plant outdoors to dry in shaded sunlight.

They also advised using their organic Rescue Mist to spray the leaves, then wait for plant to dry out and use Superthrive the next time I water. Do you think I should use these products? I'm not sure when the plant was re-potted but I think it's time to do it.

Thank you all!

First of all, I need to agree with triffid, that is Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess', that has almost completely reverted back to the all green form.

If you'd like to have a variegated pot, as well as an all-green pot, you can take cuttings of the variegated areas and pot them up seperately. They may or may not continue to grow in variegated, but you can try!

I don't know that it would hurt to use any "rescue mists" or Superthrive, but I generally just avoid any of the "suppliments". My opinion of them is low (I honestly think they are a money-making gimmick), as I did my own tests and found they didn't help. That being said, some people swear by them.

Usually, I just re-pot (or, if there is root rot, re-start via cuttings) stressed plants. No fancy sprays or anything like that.

For hard-to-root cuttings, or for plants recovering from fungal, bacterial, or pest infestations, I might make my honey-aspirin water:

1 gallon water

250 mg uncoated aspirin pill

4 tablespoons honey

Bring gallon of water to a boil. Let simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat. Once bubbling from simmer ceases, add the honey and aspirin. Stir well, until both honey and aspirin are completely dissolved.

Let mixture cool to room temperature.

Water cuttings with the mixture once. For stressed plants, water thoroughly once, then water very lightly again, the following day.

Mixture can be kept at room temperature for 24 hours, before needing to be discarded.

Mixture can be refrigerated for 5 days, before needing to be discarded.

The aspirin works as a rooting hormone, and the honey helps stave off further fungal and bacterial issues.

It's cheap, it seems to work (as far as promoting rooting and staving off rot), and it's not some serum with outrageous claims attached to it!

Seriously under watered plant. I would water when dry. In my area about once a week. Do the finger test to check soil for dampness/dryness.

@aurorawa(88) Thank you for all your help and advice. Such an interesting plant. I feel confident that with all your help the plant will survive. Will update you on progress.
