A species of flowering plants in the genus Hoya - an evergreen vine native to The Philippines. In this country they need to be grown in a warm bright room in the house or heated conservatory. This plant grows naturally as an epiphyte high up in trees, taking its nutrients and water directly from its host plant. Can grow up to 6 feet long, and flower if cared for properly. This variety Hoya rosita has dark green waxy leaves with red undersides.

RATING- Moderate

LOVES- Dry to semi-dry soil. This plant could grow out of orchid bark so minimal watering is required. Would benefit from misting occasionally. Bright light with some sun is the position.

HATES- Over-watering or waterlogged soil-which will lead to root rot. This plant doesn't like to be re-potted too frequently as it prefers to be root bound. Do not remove dead flowers.

Pot diameter 14cm
