Hoya sp. cv Sunrise

Cultivation and maintenance of Hoya sp. cv Sunrise

Substrate for Hoya

The location of your Hoya sp. cv Sunrise will greatly affect its substrate requirements. You can use either a professional quality horticultural soil or a special mixture composed of 50% blond peat, 25% horticultural soil and 25% perlite.

Xaxim, whether in a plate or pot, is also an excellent solution as a growing medium because the root system of Hoyas in general grows very vigorously there.

Temperatures

Hoya sp. cv Sunrise does not like temperatures that are too low. Do not let them go below 15°C, possibly 10°C but very occasionally. As long as it does not suffer from a lack of water, it will tolerate high temperatures but will grow less well above 30°C.

Watering Hoya sp. CV Sunrise

Like many other Hoyas, Hoya sp. cv Sunrise appreciates reverse osmosis water or rainwater. Make sure to never have water in the saucer and space out waterings sufficiently so that the surface of the substrate dries out between two waterings. Respect a vegetative rest in winter by spacing waterings two weeks apart depending on the size of your pot.

Ideal brightness

This Hoya appreciates strong light, moderate direct sunlight will accentuate the red of its leaves . A partial shade exposure can also be suitable but will see your Hoya sp. cv Sunrise grow much less quickly.

Fertilizer

In spring and summer, it is beneficial to spray the plant with foliar fertilizer diluted to a quarter, twice a month.
