Hoya Rosita

Bring warmth and grace into your space with the radiant Hoya Rosita, a hybrid of Hoya wayetii and Hoya tsangii. Known for its narrow, glossy leaves that blush into bronze and rosy hues under bright light, this trailing beauty adds rich texture and subtle color to any shelf or hanging display.

🌿 Plant Care Made Easy

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. A few hours of direct morning sun will deepen the red tones in the foliage.

• Water: Water when the top 2 inches of soil are dry. These semi-succulent leaves store moisture, so it's better to underwater than overwater.

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to most indoor environments.

• Temperature: Prefers a warm space, ideally 60–85°F. Suitable for USDA Zones 10–11.

• Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when roots begin to outgrow the pot. Hoyas prefer to be slightly root-bound.

• Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix, such as a blend of peat, perlite, and orchid bark.

🌸 Blooms & Benefits

Mature Hoya Rositas may produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers in pink and white tones. These waxy blooms attract pollinators and release a sweet scent, especially in the evening hours.
