Hoya 'Rebecca' | 2-Inch

Hoya 'Rebecca' is a special collector’s hoya that stands out not only because of its beautiful name (I wish I could say it is named after me...), but because it quickly becomes a favorite among growers.

This cross between Hoya lacunosa Langkawi Island and Hoya obscura combines the smaller, delicate leaf shape of Lacunosa with the ability to develop stunning red sun-stressed growth.

With its attractive veining, colorful new leaves, and reliable growth habit, Hoya 'Rebecca' is a rewarding choice for both newer hoya growers and collectors looking for a unique plant that is beautiful even when it is not in bloom.

• Origin: Hoya 'Rebecca' is a hybrid cross between Hoya lacunosa Langkawi Island (a smaller variety) and Hoya obscura. This plant was selected for its attractive combination of traits from both parent plants. It is sold as a rooted cutting with new growth in a 2-inch pot.

• Leaves: The leaves are similar in size and shape to Hoya lacunosa, featuring smaller leaves with attractive light veining. The foliage can develop a beautiful red sun-stressed color, especially on emerging leaves, creating a striking contrast between the red tones and green leaves. The leaves have the delicate appearance of Lacunosa while still providing a unique collector look.

• Flowers: Hoya 'Rebecca' produces pink flowers with yellow centers. The blooms add a beautiful pop of color to the plant and are a favorite feature among collectors. 

• Growth Rate: Hoya 'Rebecca' is considered a good grower and has been observed to grow easily under the right conditions, making it a rewarding choice for growers who enjoy watching their plants develop quickly.

• Watering: Water when the potting mix has partially dried. Like many hoyas, Hoya 'Rebecca' prefers consistent moisture without staying constantly wet. A well-draining hoya mix helps prevent overwatering issues.

• Light: Hoya 'Rebecca' enjoys bright light and can develop stronger red coloration with higher light exposure. A growing setup that works well is about 8 inches from the top of the plant to double Barrina T5 lights running 14 hours per day.

• Temperature & Humidity: Ideal growing conditions based on the provided setup are around 85°F with humidity levels between 70–75%.

• General Hoya Care: Plant Hoya 'Rebecca' in a chunky, well-draining mix and provide bright indirect light, warmth, and good airflow. Avoid keeping the roots constantly wet and allow the plant to dry slightly between waterings.
