Hoya carnosa Rubra

This type of Hoya is very easy to care for as long as you keep it in a bright spot and are careful with water. Like many other types of Hoya’s, this species is epiphytic in its natural habitat, which means it’s actually an air plant with crinkly succulent leaves.

Attractive foliage and waxy flowers which can be highly scented, make these plants popular with indoor growers. In temperate climates, they need to be grown in a warm bright room in the house or heated conservatory. They do best in good light where they can produce clusters of star-shaped flowers. This variety has almost burgundy vines and the variegated leaves are dark green, with white and some pink in them.
