Hoya Obscura Care: Monitoring for Root Rot

Follow-up on Hoya care. No disease signs visible. User asks if root rot could be an issue.

Expert Assessment

Symptoms don't match typical root rot (wilting, yellowing, rapid browning). Root rot usually shows wilting despite moist soil.

Monitoring

• Watch for marginal leaf browning/yellowing.
• If wilting appears, check roots: healthy = cream/white; rotted = brown/black, mushy.
• Maintain bright light, dry between waterings.

Current appearance suggests environmental adjustment, not disease.
