Has the sun set (oof) on this one-time social media darling?

Publicado 2024-04-30
Just a few short years ago, the Hoya 'Sunrise' was an absolute "it" plant. It was sexy, expensive, and the influencers couldn't stop talking about her. Does she still have a place in the collector's home?

Come join me for a discussion of one of the easiest Hoya to grow large--and flower. Mine started out a single, small cutting only fourteen months ago!

    My favorite Mom & Pop nursery has the Hoya Sunrise at such a great price so I bought a couple of them and potted them together. I fell in love with it when I saw it. Can’t imagine why it fell out of the limelight but I’m glad I didn’t pay through the nose for it! Yours is gorgeous!

    That’s the most beautiful sunrise I’ve ever seen. I’m currently growing out 2 4” pots, it’s definitely a favorite.😍 Thanks for sharing!

    I've had my eye out for a Sunrise for a long time but it's like hen's teeth in my corner of the world. So beautiful! 😍

    Just got a few small cuttings from a friend in February and it is already putting out a lot of new growth.

    I'm new to the hoya scene and this is definitely on my birthday wishlist. Watched Fern repot that stunning Queen as well. And as Plants with Krystal would say, "Gotta shimmy that shoil". 😉
  • I love your comment with the butter knife, “the wife’s not here,,,,,”. 😂😂

    Beautiful, beautiful Hoya! So the search begins for me in central Wisconsin…
  • @raynelaroux1547
    I ordered a cutting off Etsy about 2 months ago. It's rooted and putting out new growth points. I can't wait until the day it's as big and beautiful as yours.

    Just bought my first sunrise. It’s in the nursery pot. I can’t wait to see how it grows❤
  • I am so happy this beautiful living plant found its way to you! They must love living with you! Yours by far is the best I have ever ever seen and Love the back story! I love this plant, I have 2….bout bought a few before that…..first Hoya I ever ordered on line but a 2 leaf cutting…..killed it. 2nd killed, and still have the last 2! One has a potential to turn into like yours……other is not as fruitful. Wow this video blew my mind thanks!

    Hey Dave! I am so jealous! What a beautiful hoya! I'm on my third Sunrise. The first two were small cuttings with some sun stress but they died, root rot. I have a full one now a year and a half old and it's as green as the day I got it! Its in a west facing window, has tendrils and not growing much. As a matter of fact I am going to take out of the macrame hanger now and check it thoroughly. I might need to take out of meds and replace with a soil mix. Thanks for sharing! Look forward to your next! Dee, NY
  • @teartamother1892
    Awesome I got one a few months back just a cutting and it's now settled in and starting to grow ❤
  • @luciansteph
    Stuuuuuuuning! 🤩 thank you for sharing its beauty with us
  • I've just recently been thinking of getting this one. I don't care about trends. I like what I like, and yours is a beauty. Yeah, I've been learning on my own that this whole letting 'any' plant dry out is a bad thing. At best mine didn't grow at all, but normally it ended badly. Now, I water my succulents & cactus regularly and well too.
