    Hi,
    I have a collection of Hoya's which are all growing well, But one of my favorite's Australis v Compacta No 34, its leaves have gone all wrinkly, (this started about 2 month ago after we moved) so I've moved it to where is gets full sun,(as it was in fun sun before we moved) and have fertilized it with seasol. I let it dry out before I water it. But it's still looking very sad the leaves are drupping and the wrinkles are still there, it was growing really well before we moved. can you please help.

    Ell, I had hoped that someone else with more knowledge would have stepped up by now. Since you probably know more about Hoya's than I do all I can suggest is to take a cutting that does not seem to be affected yet and clip a new start. I would do this just so I wouldn't loose the whole plant in case the mother plant does die.
    I found this list of Hoyas on the net but they seem to be more interested in selling than "how to care for". There are sooo many varieties! Hope all goes well. barb

    Hi Barb,

    Thanks I have given it another dose of seasol and rubbed banana skin on all the leaves and it seems to look a bit better, But I am planning on taking a cutting just in case.

    but if anyone else has a suggestion please pop by. :)
