☀️☀️☀️ (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.
