Hoya Sunrise – Wax Plant with Red-tinged Foliage

Add something truly special to your collection with the Hoya Sunrise, a beautiful and easy-care trailing houseplant prized for its rich green leaves that develop deep red and purple hues when exposed to bright light or mild sun stress. As a member of the wax plant family, it produces glossy, textured foliage and can reward mature plants with clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers.

This plant is:
✔️ Easy to Care For
✔️ Slow Growing
✔️ Air-Purifying
✔️ Pet-Friendly
✔️ Ideal for Hanging Planters & Bright Shelves
✔️ Great for Gifting

The Hoya Sunrise thrives in bright, indirect light and can handle some direct sunlight, especially in the morning or late afternoon. Strong light encourages the rich colouring and compact growth. Its elegant trailing habit is perfect for shelves, hanging pots, or windowsills, and with time and the right care, it may also produce sweet-scented flowers.

✨ Please note: The plant you receive will be green or slightly sun-stressed. The photos showing red-toned leaves are of our private, mature plant and show how yours can look with consistent bright light exposure.

🪴 Each plant is hand-selected from our current stock and shipped in nursery pots using recyclable and reused packaging materials, and comes with a scannable QR code for full care guidance.

🪴 Quick Care Guide
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light or some gentle direct sun – colour deepens with light
💧 Watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings
💦 Humidity: Average to high – appreciates occasional misting
💦 Extra Tip: Use our Highland Moss premium succulent potting mix to support healthy roots and steady growth

How often should I water my Hoya Sunrise?: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s best to check the top few centimetres of soil for dryness before watering again.
Can the Hoya Sunrise be placed in direct sunlight?: It thrives in bright, indirect light but can handle some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon. Too much direct sun can cause leaf scorch, so monitor the plant’s response and adjust its position if necessary.
Is the Hoya Sunrise suitable for beginners?: Yes, this plant is ideal for beginners as it is easy to care for and slow-growing, making it forgiving and low-maintenance. Its pet-friendly nature and air-purifying qualities also make it a great choice for most households.

Hoya Sunrise Wax Plant Care Guide

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.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️☀️ (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.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (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.

🌡️️ Temperature

🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (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.

💦 Humidity

💦💦▫️ (Moderate)

Hoya Sunrise enjoys a bit of humidity. Regular misting or a pebble tray can help meet its needs, especially during dry, winter months.

🌡️ Repotting

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.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

Great news for pet owners! The Hoya Sunrise is non-toxic and safe around your furry friends.

🐾 Recommended Locations at Home

This plant is perfect for bright shelves, sunny windowsills, or in a hanging planter where its trailing vines can beautifully cascade down.

🌬️🪴 Air Purifying

Yes, the Hoya Sunrise contributes to a cleaner indoor air environment by filtering common pollutants from the air.

✨ Other Plant Features

Besides its stunning foliage, mature Hoya Sunrise plants can produce fragrant, star-shaped flowers, adding a delightful surprise as your plant grows.

If you have more questions about caring for your Hoya Sunrise, feel free to ask Mossbot for assistance, contact us via our website, or make use of our free plant hospital service if you encounter any issues. Happy planting!

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Complete Your Plant Setup: Browse our selection of stylish planters, precision pruning tools, watering tools, full spectrum grow lights, eco-friendly pest treatments, organic plant food, and efficient watering accessories. Everything you need for a thriving plant collection is just a click away.
Sustainably Packed with Care: Your plant will arrive safely, packed with reused and environmentally friendly materials. While we take great care to prevent damage, some fragile plants may experience minor leaf loss during transit—but don’t worry, your healthy plants will grow back.

I did not expect the items in my order to be so stunning and utterly joyous! The moss just sprang into verdant glory as soon as I unshackled it from its wax paper and unleashed it in its prepared spot in the miniature Lord of the Rings mood garden 🤪 As I said to the postie, forget snow to eskimos, we are shipping moss to Argyll! Lovely wee selection. The moss pole with cup is brilliantly designed and will make my monstera much happier in a room heated with a log burner and near a radiator. She is already very tolerant and happy but this will hopefully set her up for winter. A daily drench of warmed rainwater on that pole will recreate Amazonia for a plant that in my experience loves heat as long as humidity is good and I’m confident she will take over the world. Please never stop doing extensions!
