The Hoya ‘Sunrise’ is a beautiful plant that blushes red in adequate sunlight. This plant is an excellent choice for hanging baskets because of its characteristic trailing and vining growth habit. This plant is sometimes hard to find due to its continuing popularity. It has beautiful teardrop-shaped leaves with reddish veins. The Sunrise Hoya can be trained to grow its vines where you want them to by staking with bamboo.
Best Locations For Growing Sunrise Hoya
Grow this plant in any room receiving adequate indirect sunlight for at least six hours daily. Try to keep your hoya in a location with high humidity, preferably 60-80%. If you live in a dry climate, it is best to occasionally mist your plant (avoid water build-up on leaves) or use a humidity tray.
Sunrise Hoya Sunlight Requirements
In order for Sunrise Hoya to thrive, provide it with plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Two or three feet away from a south-facing window, or near an east- or west-facing window is ideal. Hoya Sunrise prefers to get bright dappled sunlight for at least four to six hours per day. For example, consider hanging your plant behind sheer curtains on a south-facing window. Direct sunlight may scorch the leaves.
Sunrise Hoya Care
The best time of year to prune your plant is in early spring. Take care that you don’t accidentally snip off a peduncle where the flowers grow year after year. The perfect soil for growing the Hoya Sunrise in would be a 50/50 blend of a high-quality succulent soil and orchid soil. Airy, well-draining mixes are best for hoya plants, and they grow best in a high-humidity environment.
Watering Sunrise Hoya
Before watering this plant, make sure that the soil has completely dried out. Hoyas are susceptible to root rot when overwatered. As a general rule, water biweekly during the spring and summer but don’t water much during the winter months when growth slows.
Feeding Sunrise Hoya
Sunrise Hoyas benefit from monthly feeding with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Hoyas need to be fertilized regularly throughout spring and summer. Nitrogen-rich fertilizers encourage foliage growth, whereas phosphorus-rich fertilizers are best when you see flower buds emerge.
