I was reading about a hoya, Krimson Queen that puts out some white leaves, and the stem is also white, like yours. Apparently these white leaves growing on white stems, live about 9 months and die off. But that is a long time. I just thought you may find it interesting. Love the update.

From my experience, the stem is pink versus white. But, when I had my 'Krimson Queen,' her pink stems with all white leaves didn't die off after nine months. I'd lose a white leaf here and there (pretty rarely though, no more than the random green leaf). I did read though that the all-white leaves can cause it not to bloom, as some feel that they only suck energy from the plant, but mine never bloomed, so I don't know the validity of that. I believe that was from being in a large pot (she was big, but I realize that they seem to enjoy smaller pots).
