Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Possible Hoya macgillivrayi Problem - Any Ideas?, 0 by Gabro14

I just read this, and I'm amazed because I've had a very similar problem with my mac. I don't know exactly what is in my mix, because I bought it from Ebay (actually, from someone that many people on this forum have bought the same hoya from)....but I can tell you that I'm pretty positive that there is no coir in the mix. The problem is not anything I was really worried about, since I'm POSITIVE it's not a bug problem. But it sounds like exactly what Doug is explaining (some of the new leaf growth is curled and has some white on it...but the white is not "dusty", it seems to be IN the leaf - if that makes any sense). The plant is very healthy...it's just those few leaves that have that. So I'm not too worried. But it was just interesting to see that I wasn't the only one with the problem. I wonder what it could be if it's not coir (at least in my case)?
