Meet Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'—the classic variegated Hoya with cream, green and pink tones. Thick waxy leaves bring colour all year and mature plants can flower from old spurs. Stylish, unusual and full of character, she is a brilliant choice for adding something special to the plant shelf.

  • The Formal Name: Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'
  • The Nickname: Tricolor Wax Plant
  • Roots: A variegated cultivar of Hoya carnosa, one of the most reliable indoor Hoyas.
  • Natural Vibe: Bright light, chunky mix and watering only once partly dry.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright indirect light is best; a little gentle sun can improve colour and flowering.
  • Best Room: A warm bright shelf, hanging pot or cabinet suits Hoya well.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly in spring and summer with orchid or houseplant feed.
  • Tropical Feels: Moderate humidity is fine; extra humidity helps small-leaved species root and grow.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep warm and away from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Let the mix dry partly between waterings, then drain fully.
  • Safety First: Not pet-safe – keep away from cats, dogs and children who may chew the leaves or stems.
  • The Bedding: Use a chunky airy Hoya mix with bark, perlite and coir.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from node cuttings in warm bright conditions.
  • Space Needs: Let vines trail, climb or wrap around a support.
  • Speed: Usually steady but not fast; species forms can be slower.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybug around nodes and new growth.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed; Hoyas enjoy being slightly snug.
  • Haircut: Avoid cutting old flower spurs if you want repeat blooms.
  • Fresh Air: A collectible wax plant for bright shelves and hanging displays.
  • Plant Lore: Mature Hoyas can bloom again from old spurs, so avoid cutting off the little flowering nubs.
