🌱 Description

The Hoya Tricolor is a stunning variegated houseplant cherished for its thick, waxy leaves splashed with shades of green, creamy white, and vibrant pink. New growth often emerges in brilliant pink tones, creating an ever-changing display of color that becomes even more striking in brighter conditions.

This slow-growing tropical vine is perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or climbing a trellis. As it matures, it may reward you with clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that resemble delicate porcelain—one of the many reasons Hoyas are beloved by collectors and beginners alike.

☀️ Light

Wide view of the sky.
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Brighter conditions encourage stronger pink variegation and increase the likelihood of blooming. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the leaves.

💧 Water

Summer: Allow the soil to dry 100% before watering.

Winter: Allow the soil to remain dry for several days before watering again.

Water thoroughly until excess water drains from the pot. Hoya Tricolor stores water in its thick leaves and prefers to dry out between waterings.

🐾 Pet Friendly?

Yes! Hoya Tricolor is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.

🌿 Fleurish Tip

Don't remove the small flower spurs after your Hoya blooms! These tiny stems will produce new flowers again and again, rewarding you with beautiful blooms year after year. Giving your Hoya plenty of bright, indirect light is the best way to encourage flowering and vibrant pink variegation.
