Hoya Newbie/Maybe Unhappy?

I got this Hoya “Lisa” Australis for Christmas and I’m not sure if it’s dying on me or not. It’s in an 8” plastic pot with good drainage. Any pointers for a Hoya Newbie??? #HangingPlants #PlantsMakePeopleHappy

It looks really nice to me so far, though I haven't grown hoya myself so I might just be missing it. Is there anything happening with it that's worrying you, or are you just being cautious?

@CeeSing Just being cautious but I have noticed that the vines are starting to die off. Leaves seem to be fine, they’re sturdy and not curling up but the vines are scaring me a little.

@PlantasticPatty Oh, how are the vines dying if the leaves are fine? 😥 Could you take a picture of it?
It's good that you're being so attentive to your baby!! 💕

@CeeSing This one came off easy. I touched it to take this photo but it came off instead.

@PlantasticPatty Ohhhh I see what you mean 🥺 That can be worrisome! I don't think I should try to advise anything since I don't raise any hoyas but hopefully someone else knows what's happening here?
I'm glad at least the leaves are safe! So it probably isn't that bad, I hope? Fingers crossed for you! 🤞
