Hello! A friend of mine brought me her Hoya Wayetii (I think..) to hopefully nurse it back to health. She told me it has mealybugs and frost damage, hence the red leaves.
I treated it for the bugs and will continue to do so – I'm not new to rescuing plants and caring for the weak ones. 🙂
But I'm new to Hoyas and would appreciate some advice on how to properly care for this one.
The leaves are orveall firm and to my understanding just show discoloration at this point. The substrate is fairly compacted though and I'll need to repot it somewhere down the line.
So how would you proceed? And how should I position it regarding light and temperature? Currently it's in front of this window which is facing south west and has plenty kind of indirect light in the afternoon. But the room is not exactly the warmest. Somewhat close to 20°C maybe? Sure a bit lower than that.
Thank you in advance!

Hey I can copy and paste my general Hoya care tips, which include a bit of a How To on figuring out what different species might need?
You’re right this is a H. wayetii. They’re gorgeous plants but on the tricker side of things, I’ve heard. I’m amazed it’s still alive if it has frost damage! It needs to be in temps 21C and above. How do the roots look?
