Hoya sunrise (Pet Friendly)

Hoya ‘Sunrise’ is a cross between Hoya lacunosa ssp. pallidiflora and Hoya obscura. These hoya are prized for their dark green, glossy, ovate leaves with a prominent network of bright green veins. With sun stressing, the leaves can turn nearly completely red in color, hence the name Sunrise. These can be grown as a hanging specimen or trained to climb.  GENERAL CARE Hoya grow best in bright, indirect light. Water only when the soil is completely dry as hoyas prefer a good wet/dry cycle and do not like being consistently moist. Hoyas also prefer to be “pot-bound” so only repot when necessary and pot in a tight pot, only slightly large in size to the one it is currently in. Plant in well-draining potting soil with added perlite and bark for good drainage.  Native to tropical/sub-tropical regions in Eastern Asia and Australia, hoya are considered a semi-epiphytic plant, meaning they begin their lives with roots in the soil, then use adventitious roots along their stems to climb nearby tr
