Hoya Sunrise

Wax Flower 'Sunrise' or Dawn Hoya (Hoya 'Sunrise')

This highly sought-after and stunning Wax Flower 'Sunrise' is one of the most beautiful treasures in the world of houseplants! It stands out with its teardrop-shaped leaves, adorned with delicate, light veins. But its true magic reveals itself in sunlight – when exposed to plenty of light, the leaves turn wonderfully pink, burgundy, and fiery "dawn" shades. As shown in the first image, under good conditions it delights with delicate, fuzzy, and extremely sweet-smelling flower clusters. It is an elegant, trailing, and colorful houseplant that will add a romantic, dynamic, and very fragrant accent to any interior. A great, long-lasting, and safe gift for anyone who loves exotic and flowering plants!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS:

• ☀️ Light: Maximum bright light and direct sunlight (especially morning or afternoon sun). To achieve its famous fiery red "dawn" coloration and to be able to form flower buds, it vitally needs sun! In a darker spot, the plant will survive without problems, but the leaves will remain completely green.

• 💧 Watering: Moderate and very careful. Wax flower’s fleshy leaves store water, so allow the top layer of soil to dry out thoroughly between waterings. It absolutely cannot tolerate overwatering and sitting in standing water in a saucer – this will very quickly cause fine root rot.

• 🌡️ Temperature/Humidity: Thrives at standard room temperature. Being a tropical epiphyte, it will appreciate increased air humidity (especially during the heating season), but adapts excellently to drier indoor air as well. Protect it from cold drafts!

• 🐾 Pets: Pet-friendly. This colorful and fragrant tropical vine is non-toxic and completely safe in your home with curious cats and dogs.

🏠 BEST LOCATION:

• Sunny windowsill in the living room or bedroom (to ensure vibrant leaf coloration and maximize flowering stimulation).

• Bright hanging pot or high shelf (allowing its colorful vines to elegantly and freely hang down).

• Bright bathroom with a window (if it has naturally elevated humidity and plenty of light).

SPECIFICATIONS:

• Height: 20 cm

• Pot diameter: 12 cm

⚠️ Note: Plants are living organisms, so each specimen may slightly differ from the description. It is important to know the golden rule of wax flowers: never, under any circumstances, cut off faded flower stalks (the small, hard "stems" that held the flowers)! Hoyas bloom again and again from the same small stem, so cutting it off means flowers will never appear in that spot again. Remember that the first image shows an example of flowering – to have the plant bloom in your home, you need patience and to provide it with enough sunlight!
