Hoya Sunrise, also known as Wax Plant, is a beautiful and low-maintenance houseplant that is popular for its unique foliage and fragrant flowers. Here’s a guide to caring for it:
Light:
* Hoya Sunrise prefers bright, indirect light.

* Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is ideal.
* A south-facing window is a good location, but be sure to rotate the plant regularly to prevent it from leaning towards the light.
Watering:
* Hoya Sunrise is a drought-tolerant plant and prefers its soil to dry out completely between waterings.
* Water deeply when you do water, but avoid overwatering.
* Check the soil moisture by sticking your finger about an inch into the pot. If it feels dry, you can water it.
* Reduce watering frequency in the winter when the plant is dormant.
Humidity:

Pruning:
