🌅 Hoya 'Sunrise' – leaves that change color like a painted canvas
General description
- Color-changing foliage: Glossy, tear-drop shaped leaves that transform into vibrant red-burgundy, violet, or orange under bright light, with visible light-green veins creating a dramatic contrast.
- Fragrant creamy flowers: After 1-2 years of care, produces clusters of small star-shaped flowers in cream-yellow or pale pink, with a sweet fragrance reminiscent of chocolate or ice cream, especially in the evening.
- Vining growth habit: Grows as a climbing vine reaching 1-2 meters, ideal for hanging baskets or decorative supports where it can trail beautifully.
How to care for Hoya 'Sunrise'
- Light: Prefers bright indirect light, ideal 1-2 meters from an east- or west-facing window. For "sun stress" (red coloration), gradually expose to 1-2 hours of direct morning sun, avoiding harsh afternoon sunlight.
- Watering: Water every 10-14 days when the top 2-3 cm of soil is dry. Use a pot with good drainage to prevent water accumulation.
- Humidity: Tolerates household humidity (40-50%), but prefers 50-60%. A humidifier or pebble tray with water helps.
- Soil: Use a well-draining epiphyte mix with bark, perlite, and peat or coco coir.
- Temperature: Thrives between 18–28°C with moderate humidity to keep foliage healthy.
