As long as these fundamental needs are met, its relatively unfussy.

In general, this hoya prefers at least six to seven hours ofbright, indirect lightevery day.
However, it is susceptible to burning if exposed to too much harsh, direct light.
In contrast, in lower light conditions like medium indirect light, the leaves will remain green.

Sun stressing, despite its name, isnt a bad thing and mimics a plants natural habitat.
However, its best to sun-stress your plants for short periods of time and then give them a break.
A combination of equal partscactus/succulent soil, orchid bark mix, and perlite is ideal.

Sometimes, old leaves turn yellow and fall off and its nothing to worry about.
Brown Leaves
Brown leavesare another common problem for hoya rositas.
Usually, leaves turning brown are a result of underwatering or a lack of humidity drying out the plant.
However, pest infestations can also cause a plants leaves to turn brown.
This hoya is considered rare and may be difficult to find at your local nursery or greenhouse.
Its not uncommon for hoyas of all kinds to put out long, leafless stems.
Either way, dont cut the stems.
They will likely fill out with leaves once the plant finds what it’s searching for.
Taking stem cuttings is a great way to make a hoya rosita bushier.
