Meet Hoya ‘Rowena’ (Hoya ‘Sunrise’ × obovata), a beautiful hybrid that combines the sun-stressed color potential of Hoya ‘Sunrise’ with the broad, substantial leaves of Hoya obovata. Offered as a rooted cutting with active new growth in a 2-inch pot, this rewarding Hoya develops thick, attractive foliage that can take on richer tones under bright conditions, making it a standout addition to any indoor jungle. Easy to grow and well-suited to shelves, plant cabinets, and grow-light setups, Hoya ‘Rowena’ delivers the satisfying combination of unique foliage, manageable care, and the possibility of stunning blooms as it matures.

• Origin: Hoya ‘Rowena’ is a cultivated hybrid created from Hoya ‘Sunrise’ × Hoya obovata. Hoya ‘Sunrise’ itself is a hybrid between Hoya lacunosa and Hoya obscura, while Hoya obovata is a naturally occurring species native to Southeast Asia.

• Foliage: Features thick, succulent-like leaves that are broader and more substantial than many Hoyas. The foliage inherits characteristics from both parents, combining attractive shape, sturdy texture, and the potential for enhanced coloration when grown in bright light.

• Growth Rate: Moderate grower when provided with bright light, warmth, and proper watering.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry partially between waterings. The thick leaves help store moisture, making the plant more forgiving than many tropical houseplants.

• Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light. For optimal growth indoors, this plant performs well approximately 8 inches below double Barrina T5 lights for about 14 hours per day. Higher light levels may encourage stronger coloration in the foliage.

• Temperature & Humidity: Thrives around 75°F with humidity levels of 60–65%, though it can adapt to typical indoor household conditions.

• General Hoya Care: Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix, avoid overwatering, and provide bright indirect light for best results. Learn more in our complete Hoya care guide: https://hoyatreasures.com/pages/caring-for-hoya
