My hoya plant is getting a lot of brown spots on the leaves, then the leaf dies. Most of the plant is already dead, but there is one remining vine that I would really like to keep and revitalize the plant. There are no bugs on the plant. It gets moderate sunlight and is in a hanging basket from my ceiling. I am not sure what is going on, but any suggestions to help me keep this plant would be greatly appreciated.

I am having a similar problem with my Draceana plant. The leaves are getting these flat oval shaped brown spots and then the leaf turns entirely yellow and falls off. I'm pretty sure I'm at the point where I need to re-pot the plant, but is that the cause of the spots?

I unfortunately know as much as you about this problem - sorry to not have an answer, but glad to see that this was already a question.

I think one needs to check the roots. Yellowing leaves can be from overwatering or some other drainage problem (like maybe the rootball has hardened off leaving the plant unable to take up water?).
A long time mentor of mine in plants used to tell our Indoor Gardening Club that trying to diagnose a plant w/out unpotting to check its roots is like trying to see through a blindfold, not likely to happen.

From what I've seen w/ some Hoya growers in Calif., Hoyas getting too much sun get a bit faded, bleached out looking (but still feel firm to the touch) & the leaves don't drop off.

May I suggest you take some cuttings off the green growth & pot them up separately in new mix just in case?
