Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor'

🔥🌸 Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor’ (HOY-ah car-NO-sah TRY-kul-or) 🌸🔥

Also known as: Variegated Wax Plant, Krimson Princess, Tricolor Hoya

A true showstopper, this wax plant cultivar is beloved for its thick, glossy leaves streaked with green, cream, and pink. New growth often emerges in shades of blush or coral before maturing, giving it a constantly shifting palette of color. Like other hoyas, it produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers once mature, adding another layer of charm.

💡 Care Tips:

☀️ Light – Thrives in bright, indirect light. Too little light reduces variegation and flowering; too much direct sun may scorch leaves.
💧 Water – Allow soil to dry out about halfway before watering again. The succulent-like leaves store water, making this plant drought-tolerant. Avoid overwatering.
🌡️ Humidity – Prefers moderate to high humidity (50%+), but adapts to average household conditions. Ideal temps: 65–85°F (18–29°C).
🌱 Growth – Moderate to fast-growing vine. Trails beautifully or climbs when given support. Flowers more reliably when slightly rootbound.

📊 Difficulty: Easy to Intermediate (adaptable, but flowering requires patience and consistent care).

🐾 Pet Safety: Non-toxic to cats and dogs. All pets are unique and reactions may vary in symptoms and severity.

🌟 Collector’s Tip:
Encourage blooms by providing bright light and a snug pot. Avoid cutting the long spurs (peduncles) after flowering — new flowers will continue to form there year after year.
