Treating Fungal Leaf Spots on Hoya Rope Plant

Treating Fungal Leaf Spots on Hoya Rope Plant

Excessive misting created a humid microclimate perfect for fungus. The white, cornmeal‑like spots are fungal spores.

Treatment

Spray affected leaves with plain Lysol disinfectant spray every day until the fungus disappears and doesn't return. Lysol kills fungal spores on contact.

Prevention

• Stop misting. Hoyas prefer dry foliage.
• Improve air circulation around the plant.
• Water at the soil level, not the leaves.

With daily Lysol and drier conditions, the Hoya should recover fully.
