We went on vacation for two weeks and my mom was going to come water my plants for me while we were gone. She ended up in the hospital, so they never got watered. Thankfully, it was only a scary situation and not a problem, and Mom is fine. I hope this doesn't sound awful of me, because every plant I have could have died and as long as Mom is alright, I wouldn't have minded a bit - plants are replaceable, Mom isn't. But, now that I know she's OK, I'm worried about my hoyas. They really dried out. I've attached a picture below of the Krinkle one (I can't remember names, as I'm still quite ignorant about all things Hoya). See how wrinkled up the leaves are? I've checked them every day to be sure they're moist, not soaking wet, but not dried out either. Do you think they'll be alright, or are they pretty much a lost cause? Krinkle is the worst, but the others just look "dry" on their leaves. They're not all wrinkled up like that, but the leaves just look "dry". Does that make sense? Anyway, I just wondered if there's still hope for them or anything special I should do. I really don't want to lose them.
