Hoya Sunrise is a hybrid created by crossing Hoya lacunosa and Hoya obscura. It’s beloved for its dramatic foliage and its ability to “sun-stress” into gorgeous shades of red and pink.
Key Features
Key Features
- Leaves: Teardrop‑shaped, glossy, and capable of turning bright pink or reddish under strong light.
- Growth Habit: A vining epiphyte—great for hanging baskets or trailing displays.
- Flowers: Small, star‑shaped clusters in white to pale pink, often sweetly scented.
- Origin: Hybrid of two Southeast Asian species.
- Prefers bright, indirect light.
- A few hours of gentle morning sun helps bring out the red/pink foliage.
- Too much harsh sun can burn the leaves.
- Many growers place it in an east-facing window for ideal balance.
- Water every 5–8 days in spring/summer, less in winter.
- Let the soil dry slightly between waterings.
- Avoid soggy soil—Hoyas hate wet feet.
