​Hoya sunrise

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

• 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.

 Light

• 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

• 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.
