The Red Veined Jungle Hoya

What Is Hoya clemensiorum ‘Red’?

Hoya clemensiorum ‘Red’ is a special form of Hoya clemensiorum known for its reddish tones, especially on new leaves or under bright light. It comes from tropical Southeast Asia, where Hoyas grow as climbing vines in warm, humid forests.

This plant is not aquatic and should never be submerged. It grows best in airy, well-draining media with good light and airflow.

Like the standard form, it is prized for its large, heavily veined leaves. The “Red” form may show bronze to red coloring on young growth, which later deepens to green with dark veins.

Bold and dramatic, Hoya clemensiorum ‘Red’ is ideal for collectors who want strong foliage with added color intensity.
