Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor'

Hoya Tricolor 🌸🌿 is loved for its thick waxy leaves splashed in green, cream, and pink, giving it a bright, candy-colored look that stands out on shelves, in hanging planters, or climbing with support. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the variegation stays strongest and mature plants may reward steady care with sweetly fragrant blooms. This is a generally easy plant that prefers to dry a bit between waterings rather than stay constantly damp. Pro tip: if you want the best color and the best shot at flowers, give it strong light and avoid moving it around too often ✨.
