Tropicals & Tender Perennials: Problem with Hoya magnifica, 0 by plantladylin

Hope someone has some suggestions for me with this magnifica. This plant is from a cutting I got in the spring DL Co-op. It rooted and has been growing great but lately I've noticed some of the vines turning brown and dying back a little ways. I have just been trimming the dead pieces off. Any ideas as to what would cause this?

I took a quick picture, can you see what I mean? There's one short end that is totally brown and I have cut back a few stems that were like this. I am going to repot in fresh mix later today but I'm wondering what to do about the stems turning brown. I should have taken a picture when it had three or four brown dead stems. I did have a couple of leaves turn yellow and fall off and immediately checked to see if the soil was too wet ... it was on the dry side. I wonder if I am keeping this particular one too dry?

Well, I have to go finish mowing the lawn. I will check back in later in hopes of some feedback!
