Hoya coronaria 'Red' - H200

Hoya coronaria 'Red' is a bold species with broad, firm green leaves and large, thick-textured red flowers. The blooms have a waxy surface and rich colour, forming small clusters close to the stems. Stems are strong and upright to scrambling, developing a substantial structure when provided with support.

This plant prefers bright filtered light, warm temperatures and a lightly drying cycle. Its thick leaves and flowers respond best to steady warmth and an airy mix. Regular feeding during the warmer months supports new growth and flowering.
