Hoya Sunrise

Hoya Sunrise is a hybrid of Hoya Obscura and Hoya Lacunosa. The main attribute to note is the deep, rich maroon color the leaves will turn when provided with high levels of sunlight, hence the name. It is also characterized by prominent veining on the leaves.

Care for this Hoya is similar to that of most Hoya varities:

Foliage: Hoya plants are known for their attractive, waxy leaves. The leaves can be thick and succulent, and they often have a glossy or shiny surface. The foliage comes in various shapes and sizes, depending on the species.

Growth Habit: Hoyas exhibit a climbing or trailing growth habit. They can be cultivated as hanging plants or trained to climb on supports.

Flowers: One of the most distinctive features of Hoyas is their unique and often fragrant flowers. The flowers are typically star-shaped and arranged in clusters. The colors can vary among species and may include shades of white, pink, red, and purple.

Fragrance: Many Hoya species produce fragrant flowers, and the scent can be sweet or spicy. The fragrance is often more pronounced during the evening.

Watering: These plants prefer a well-draining soil mix. Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's crucial to avoid keeping the soil consistently soggy.

Temperature and Humidity: Hoyas thrive in warm temperatures and higher humidity. They should be protected from drafts, and misting can help provide additional humidity.

Propagation: Hoyas can be propagated through stem cuttings. The cuttings can be rooted in water or directly in soil. They are generally considered relatively easy to propagate.
