The Hoya Sigillatis, first described in 2004 and native to Borneo, is a striking plant that produces beautiful burgundy leaves when exposed to sunlight. Its elongated leaves are adorned with silver speckles. This succulent-like houseplant is easy to care for, blooming with fragrant flowers, and can survive without water for extended periods. It is both pet-friendly and air-purifying, making it perfect for a sunny windowsill where the leaves can turn red from sun exposure, adding a vibrant touch to any room.
It is an ideal choice for beginners or as a gift.
Please be aware that the plant you receive may already exhibit red leaves due to sun stress or may still be green.
- How often should I water my Hoya Sigillatis?
- Ideally, keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Allow the top layer to dry out before watering again to prevent root rot. In a typical home environment, watering once a week should suffice.
- Can the Hoya Sigillatis thrive in a bathroom environment?
- Yes, this plant can thrive in a bathroom if it has sufficient light. Its preference for high humidity levels (60% – 80%) makes it well-suited for bathroom settings where moisture is often higher than other parts of the home.
- Is the Hoya Sigillatis suitable for hanging baskets?
- Yes, with its trailing growth habit, it’s perfect for hanging baskets. Ensure it’s placed in a well-lit area to encourage leaf colouration and flowering.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Sigillatis thrives in well-lit areas with dappled sunlight. Although it can grow under medium light, higher light levels may encourage more blooming. Too much direct sunlight might cause leaf scorch, so aim for a balance to see those stunning burgundy leaves flourish.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
This plant likes its soil to stay moist but is forgiving if you forget to water it now and then. Be sure to let the soil dry a bit between waterings and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot. Over-watering is a bigger concern than under-watering for the Hoya Sigillatis.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Comfortable at room temperature, the Hoya Sigillatis enjoys conditions between 18°C to 24°C. It’s not fond of drastic temperature changes, so keep it away from draughty windows in the winter and direct air conditioning in the summer.
💦 Humidity
💦💦💦 (High)
A humidity level of 60% to 80% mimics the Hoya Sigillatis’ natural tropical environment, promoting lush growth and vibrant flowers. If your home is dry, consider using a humidifier or placing the plant in naturally humid areas like kitchens or bathrooms.
🪴 Repotting
Hoya Sigillatis generally needs repotting every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally formulated for succulents or cacti, to provide the best environment for root health and growth.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic and safe for both cats and dogs, making it a worry-free choice for pet owners.
