Hoya sunrise is a hybrid of Hoya lacunosa and Hoya obscura. They display gorgeous red leaves when sun-stressed! Our current stock is green as they are greenhouse grown, and while the colors of the plants may vary, they will always change to peachy orange/red when sun-stressed! Sun stressing doesn't take too long, usually just a few weeks!
Hoya are easy to care for if given the proper conditions! Like all hoyas, these plants like to dry out well between watering. When the soil is dry and it's time to water, you should thoroughly soak the potting media. Water until all the soil is saturated and all excess water drains away through the drainage hole. ALWAYS plant Hoya in pots with drainage holes! You can water even less in the winter when growing slows (and sometimes halts).
Hoya like to be a bit root-bound. You should not place them in a huge pot. When it is time to repot, go up only one pot size - meaning when it's time to repot this plant (currently in a 4" pot) only go up to a 6" pot. Hoya want a quick draining soil - use a light and airy potting mix, such as cactus and succulent soil, with added perlite or pumice for increased drainage.
Basic care instructions (please research ideal care for your specific conditions):
Light: Place in very bright indirect light, indoors or out (bring in if dipping below 55 degrees). A few hours of morning or late afternoon sun, especially in winter, is great.
Water: Allow inch or two of soil to dry between waterings. Use your finger a few inches into the soil to test before watering.
Pets: *Pet friendly*
*Color of leaves and blooms will depend on environmental conditions of each individual plant. Individual plants may vary based on stock available.
