    The leaves of my beautiful, new Hoya lacunosa suddenly appeared dry and all shrivalled ...it was handing in my window during the 16 below zero sudden temperature here in Calgary early this month! I've cut a few vines for a re-start but the full pot I hope will return and placed it under lights in the spare bath. I'd appreciate any suggestions! Thanks, Hoyagal!

    I also wondered re the moisture and tried to keep it evenly moist. This is my first year with a young, tender Hoya and immediately thought it must have froze overnight hanging in the window. I'm glad that I saved the potted plant and look forward to new growth in a guarded environment (bathroom under lights!) Thanks, again. I appreciate this great web site. Anne

    you do want it to dry between waterings .. it is a succulant plant so it dont need to be kept moist at all ..but you dont want it to dry it completely ..
    i dont think having it hang in a window with it that cold woulda froze it ...
    if your soil is moist right now let it dry out a bit ...

    hope i explained it good enough ..
