Features long, pointed leaves that are rimmed in dark green and maroon and red flowers when in bloom. If the plant is sun stressed the leaves will take on a rosy hue.
Lighting: This hoya prefers at least six to seven hours of bright, indirect every day. It can tolerate short periods of direct light as well, particularly in the morning and late afternoon when the sun isn’t as harsh.
Watering: Hoyas need a rich, airy, and well-draining soil mix. Allow the soil to dry out thoroughly between watering and then water well, allowing the excess water to drain from the pot.
Tip: An easy way to tell if a hoya is ready to be watered is to feel its leaves: if they are soft and slightly wilted, rather than thick and rigid, it’s safe to water your plant. If the leaves are still succulent and filled with water, it’s best to wait a bit before watering, even if the soil is dry.
