🌿 Hoya Sunrise – Description

Hoya Sunrise is a stunning hybrid variety known for its oval, veined leaves that develop a beautiful sunset-like red blush under bright light. The contrast between its deep green foliage and warm reddish tones makes it one of the most eye-catching hoyas.
Its leaves have prominent light green veins, giving the plant a textured, almost glowing appearance. When mature, Hoya Sunrise produces clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers with creamy centers and pinkish petals.

It is a semi-trailing plant ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, shelves, or window corners. Its compact growth habit and colourful foliage make it perfect for indoor plant lovers.

🌱 Hoya Sunrise Care Guide

🌞 Light

• Prefers bright indirect light.
• To get the signature sunset/red coloration, provide a few hours of morning sunlight.
• Avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can burn the leaves.

💧 Watering

• Water only when the top 2–3 inches of soil feel dry.
• Hoyas dislike overwatering — ensure the pot has good drainage.
• Reduce watering slightly during colder months.

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–30°C.
• Protect from cold drafts or temperatures below 10°C.

💦 Humidity

• Thrives in 50–70% humidity, but can tolerate normal room humidity.
• Occasional misting is fine, but avoid wetting the leaves too often.

🌱 Soil

Use a well-draining mix, such as:

• Cocopeat + Perlite + Bark
• Or a ready hoya/aroid mix

The roots need airflow.

🍽️ Fertilizer

• Feed once every 2–3 weeks during growing season (spring–monsoon).
• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer or one slightly higher in nitrogen for foliage.
• For flowering, occasional phosphorus boost helps.

✂️ Pruning & Growth

• Trim long vines to maintain shape.
• Never remove the small spur-like nodes (peduncles) — flowers emerge from them repeatedly.

🌿 Repotting

• Repot only when root-bound.
• Hoyas prefer to be slightly tight in the pot.

🪴 Propagation

• Easily propagated through stem cuttings placed in water, moss, or well-draining soil.
