Hoya bordenii sunstresses beautifully and features these gorgeous bright red flowers! It's fairly low maintenance, as it can tolerate cooler temperatures and lower humidity.
This variety was found in the Philippines, first described by Rudolf Schlechter, a German Botanist, in 1906. He discovered over a thousand new species, with most of them being orchids.
Recreate conditions under a tree canopy, where plants receive lots of light, but it is filtered through the foliage of the trees above. Your light should be bright enough to cast soft shadows.
Low Humidity: Ideally Above 40%
This Hoya tolerates a drier environment. However, it could still benefit from light humidity care, including misting and grouping together with other houseplants. May require humidifier in cooler, drier months.
Cold Tolerant: Lowest 50F/10C
This hoya will tolerate cooler conditions than most.
Does Sunstress
This plant has evolved to shift color when exposed to bright sunlight, much like a human getting a tan. This does not harm the plant with proper care.
