I like hoyas that are ;different', so when my Krimson Queen started putting out some solid dark maroon leaves, I didn't really mind...I thought it would pass and the variegation would return on subsequent leaves so I left it.

But, ummmm, it's kinda gotten out of control and has put out 2 whole branches of nothing but solid pink leaves.

My question is, is this BAD? SHould I cut these off? I know that this is the same thing really as what happens when my ALocasia macro albo variegata starts putting out solid white leaves...they don;t photosynthesize and have to be removed. But these Hoya branches seem very strong.

What should I do?
