Welcome to your simple and engaging guide on caring for the Hoya Sunrise Wax Plant! Let’s ensure your new leafy friend thrives in its new home.
☀️☀️☀️ (High)
The Hoya Sunrise Wax Plant loves bright, indirect light and can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Adequate light exposure is crucial for the plant to develop its characteristic red and purple hues.
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Hoya Sunrise when the top inch of soil feels dry. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage and the soil doesn’t stay soggy.
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
This plant prefers average room temperatures between 18°C to 24°C. Avoid sudden temperature drops and cold drafts which could harm the plant.
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
Hoya Sunrise enjoys a bit of humidity. Regular misting or a pebble tray can help meet its needs, especially during dry, winter months.
Repot your Hoya Sunrise every two to three years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining succulent mix to ensure healthy growth and prevent waterlogging.
Great news for pet owners! The Hoya Sunrise is non-toxic and safe around your furry friends.
This plant is perfect for bright shelves, sunny windowsills, or in a hanging planter where its trailing vines can beautifully cascade down.

Fantastic service as always from Pam, Craig and the Team! Added bonus to get to meet Angus the new puppy!
Great website and very communicative with delivery updates. Minor issue with the interface for the aroid plants bundle: I was unable to select both the base and extension pole, so had to add the latter separately.
Really lovely selection of plants photographed beautifully. I had a question before placing my order and used the online contact form. Craig couldn’t have been more helpful with a super quick response which resolved my query completely. My order was delivered on time and the plants and accessories were wrapped so beautifully with thoughtful little extras which made opening everything really special. I even got a ‘wee gift’ with my order and although I was aware from the website that one would be included with my order, it was just another example of a company who really wants to connect with the customers, even though there must be a financial commitment. I found the website full of useful articles and being able to access specific care guides for my purchases has been extremely useful.
The plants are well taken care of and from the few times I’ve bought from them never had any issues with the plants. 10/10 care would definitely recommend buying either only or in person.
