Hoya 'Rosita' is a beautiful hybrid of Hoya wayetii and Hoya tsangii and is one of the most popular Hoyas among collectors. Its densely leafy, elegantly overhanging shoots bear narrow, slightly curved leaves that turn reddish to burgundy with good light – an impressive play of colors that earned it the name "Rosita".
During flowering, fragrant, pink to wine-red flower umbels appear, exuding a sweet, pleasant scent. An ideal choice for plant lovers looking for a low-maintenance yet visually extraordinary Hoya.
