Selected and released by Unsolicited Plant Talks as a standout seedling from a batch of crosses, this fast-growing cultivar combines vigorous growth with spectacular stress coloring that transforms its foliage from rich green to glowing orange and deep maroon tones. Although its mother plant is Hoya finlaysonii and its pollen parent is unknown, ‘Mango Sunset’ developed its own distinct personality, offering resilient growth, beautiful foliage, and blooms that hint at its finlaysonii heritage. This rooted cutting with active new growth arrives in a 2-inch pot, ready to establish quickly and become a colorful focal point in your collection.

• Origin: Hoya ‘Mango Sunset’ (UPT010) is a cultivated hybrid released by Unsolicited Plant Talks (UPT). The seed parent is Hoya finlaysonii, while the pollen parent is unknown. It was selected because it displayed unique characteristics that stood out from other seedlings in the same batch.

• Foliage: Features thick, succulent-like leaves that develop dramatic sunstress coloration ranging from orange to maroon when grown under bright light. Despite its Hoya finlaysonii parentage, the foliage does not strongly resemble a typical finlaysonii, giving it a distinctive appearance within a Hoya collection.

• Flowers: Produces blooms that resemble those of Hoya finlaysonii.

• Growth Rate: Fast-growing and resilient, making it an excellent choice for collectors who enjoy seeing noticeable progress throughout the growing season.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry partially between waterings. Like most Hoyas, it prefers good drainage and does not enjoy sitting in constantly wet soil.

• Light Requirements: Thrives in bright light. For optimal growth and coloration, grow approximately 8 inches below double Barrina T5 lights for about 14 hours per day. Increased light encourages the signature orange-to-maroon sunstress colors.

• Temperature & Humidity: Grows well around 75°F with approximately 65% humidity.
