🌿 Cultivation & Care Information

• Botanical Name: Hoya cv. 'Sunrise' (Thailand Form)

• Common Name / Synonym: Hoya Thai Sunrise Red / Sun-Stress Wax Plant / Epiphytic Porcelain Flower

• Plant Type: Tropical evergreen epiphytic succulent vine / perennial climber

• Sun Requirements: Very bright, indirect light with dappled morning sun (Requires strong light to induce and maintain its signature rich red sun-stressed foliage; protect from intense midday sun to prevent leaf scorching).

• Soil / Medium: Thrives in an exceptionally loose, airy, and well-draining epiphytic mix consisting of coarse orchid bark, perlite, pumice, and coconut husk chips to ensure optimal aeration.

• Watering: Allow the top half of the potting medium to dry out thoroughly between waterings. Like most succulent-like hoyas, it stores moisture in its thick leaves and requires excellent drainage to prevent root rot.

• Growth Habit: A vigorous trailing and climbing epiphytic vine featuring dark green leaves with visible venation that turn brilliant red under bright light, producing fragrant porcelain-like flower clusters when mature.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm tropical, subtropical, and average indoor home temperatures (Ideal temperature range: 18°C to 28°C / 64°F to 82°F). Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10°C (50°F).

🌱 Pro Growing Tip: To achieve the brilliant red "sunrise" foliage intensity, place your Hoya Thai Sunrise in your brightest indoor spot or under a quality LED grow light, and grow it in a small, well-draining orchid bark mix!
