Hoya Buntokensis ‘Red Sun-Stressed’ – Color-Changing Buntokensis with Deep Red Bronze Leaves

Hoya buntokensis ‘Red Sun-Stressed’ is a striking collector form of Hoya buntokensis, highly prized for the dramatic color transformation it displays under brighter light. Normally green, the leaves can turn bronze, copper, or deep red when gently sun-stressed or grown under strong grow lights, while retaining the characteristic bold venation of buntokensis.

The foliage is typically elongated, thick, and leathery, giving the plant a strong architectural presence even when not in bloom. In higher light, the red tones intensify and contrast beautifully with the darker veins, making every vine visually striking.

Growth is generally climbing to semi-scandent, ideal for trellises, poles, or slabs. While mature plants may eventually flower, Hoya buntokensis ‘Red Sun-Stressed’ is primarily collected for its ornamental foliage and dramatic sun-stress coloration.

Why collectors love this plant:

• Rare red sun-stressed form of buntokensis

• Thick, elongated leaves with distinct venation

• Red, bronze, or copper coloration in higher light

• Strong statement plant for display collections

Care overview:
