About Hoya Macrophylla Red
Hoya Macrophylla Red (Hoya macrophylla ‘Red’) is a red-edged form of the big-leaf wax plant, with thick, ribbed leaves edged in pink to deep red. Labijo ships it to US buyers as a rooted plant.
What does Hoya Macrophylla Red look like?
It has the same large, thick, waxy leaves as plain Hoya macrophylla, with lengthwise veins that show as faint ribs. The difference is the color. Leaf edges blush pink to deep red, and new leaves often come in with the strongest color.
It is a vigorous climber. The amount of red varies from plant to plant and depends on light, so new leaves may look different from the ones in the photos. See our other hoyas for the plain green form.
How do you care for Hoya Macrophylla Red?
- Light: Bright indirect light with some gentle morning sun. More light means more red.
- Water: Water when the mix is mostly dry. The thick leaves store water.
- Humidity: 50% or higher is ideal, but it adapts to room air.
- Soil: An airy, chunky mix with orchid bark and perlite.
- Temperature: 65–85°F. Keep it above 55°F.
- Pets: Hoyas are generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Keep it out of reach anyway, since chewing any plant can upset a pet’s stomach.
If the red edges fade to green, the plant wants more light. Move it closer to an east window, but do it gradually so the leaves don’t scorch.
What will I receive?
A rooted plant, similar to the one in the photos. Leaf color depends on light, so expect some difference after it settles in your home.
How does Hoya Macrophylla Red ship?
We ship within the United States by USPS from our California warehouse. Orders leave within 1–3 business days and usually arrive 2–5 days later. Shipping is $12 for the first plant and $4 for each extra plant. Hawaii is a flat $30.
Ordering in cold weather? We can add a heat pack to the box for a small extra fee. Message us when you place your order.
If your plant arrives dead or badly damaged, tell us within 3 days of delivery and include an unboxing video. We will send a replacement.
Can I order from outside the US?
Labijo.com ships to US addresses only. If you live in another country, contact our home nursery in Indonesia through labijo.id and ask what they can send to you. Plant material crossing borders needs a phytosanitary certificate, and some countries also ask for an import permit, so they will check your country’s rules with you.
