Hoya 'Lisa'

Hoya Lisa 🌿✨ is loved for its thick glossy leaves brushed with creamy yellow, lime, and soft pink tones, giving it a bright tropical look that feels cheerful without being fussy. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the variegation stays strongest and the vines can spill beautifully from a shelf or hanging planter. This is a beginner-friendly plant that likes to dry a bit between waterings and does not need constant attention. Pro tip: give it plenty of bright light and avoid overwatering 💧, because stronger light helps the color pop and soggy soil is the fastest way to make it unhappy.
