Hoya 'Rosita' is an ornamental variety with variegated pink, cream, and green foliage. The margins or certain areas of the leaves are tinged with a soft pink, with variations depending on the light and the plant's genetics.

Care

• Light : Bright indirect light; necessary to bring out the pink hues.
• Watering : Allow the substrate to partially dry between waterings; avoid stagnant water.
• Humidity : Medium to high; air that is too dry can fade colors.
• Temperature : between approximately 18 and 27°C; avoid prolonged low temperatures.
• Substrate : light and draining substrate, suitable for epiphytic plants (bark, perlite, etc.).

Special advice

• Use a hanging pot or stand to showcase the variegated foliage.
• Fertilize lightly during the growing season with diluted fertilizer.
• Gently clean the leaves to preserve the pink areas.
