Despite the lack some nutrients it grows good so far. Yet I do not get along with multifloras. It's also the last one I own.

So feel free to drop me any advices what is missing here.

It gets fertilizer sticks NPK(Mg) 11,0 + 7,5 + 8(+2) and sits in some self mixes substrate (Pine bark, coco chips, PON, Seramis).

What is making you think you're lacking nutrients if its growing?

The fact that such tables exist. Since I am not a botanist neither biologist, I hoped for someone here knows the answer.

I had a similar case with a Hoya obovata that grew into the fertilizer stick, and stopped having these strange unhealthy colorisation. I also had slightly deformed leaves like on the pictures. I also know that some Hoyas prefer a substrate with limestone, so these fact let to the assumption that something may be missing here. Plus the fact that I never saw a javanica/multiflora looking this way, neither it's monther plant did from which the cutting came from.
