🌼 Cultivation & Care Information

• Common Name: Red Imbricata Shingle Hoya

• Botanical Name: Hoya imbricata (Red form)

• Plant Type: Tropical epiphytic climbing vine

• Sun Requirements: Bright, filtered light (Essential: Bright, dappled light is the key to maintaining those vibrant red hues; avoid harsh, direct midday sun which can scorch the leaves).

• Soil / Medium: Requires a very chunky, well-draining, and airy epiphytic mount (cedar board or cork is ideal) or a highly porous, ultra-draining Hoya substrate.

• Watering: Moderate; keep the potting or mounting medium slightly moist, ensuring excellent airflow around the roots. This species thrives with frequent, light misting and high ambient humidity.

• Growth Rate: Steady; thrives in warm, stable, high-humidity indoor conditions (60–70%+ humidity is highly recommended to encourage optimal shingling and color).

• Display Style: A stunning architectural masterpiece; best displayed mounted on a wooden board or a sturdy, damp moss pole to encourage its natural, flat-climbing shingle behavior.
