Origin
The Hoya 'Rosita' is a popular house plant, originating from Southeast Asia and Australia. In nature, these plants mostly grow in rainforests, where they cling to rocks and trees. They are named after Thomas Hoy, an 18th-century botanist, who worked as the head gardener for the Duke of Northumberland in England.

Characteristics
The Hoya 'Rosita' is known for its waxy, glossy green leaves and striking pink and white star-like flowers. This plant is an so-called epiphyte, which means it grows on other plants in the wild without causing them damage. The flowers often produce a sweet scent, especially in the evening. Moreover, this species is fast-growing, meaning it can expand significantly with the proper care and conditions.

Care
The Hoya 'Rosita' prefers bright, indirect light and cannot tolerate direct sun. It also needs a well-draining soil, to prevent root rot, and functions best at temperatures between 15-30 degrees Celsius. In general, the Hoya 'Rosita' has a moderate need for water, so it's important to prevent the soil from becoming too soggy. During the winter months, less watering is advisable.
