Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor’ is a classic variegated wax plant featuring thick, waxy leaves in shades of deep green, cream, and soft pink. New growth often emerges with a rosy hue, adding a pop of color to its trailing vines. Over time, it can develop clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers, especially when grown in bright conditions.

Pro Tip

Avoid repotting frequently — Hoyas like to be a little root-bound, and mature plants are more likely to flower when slightly snug in their pots.

  • Light and Placement

    Thrives in bright, indirect light. Some early morning or filtered sun can help bring out its pink tones and encourage flowering. It will tolerate lower light but may grow more slowly and with reduced variegation.

  • Watering and Care

    Allow the top 1 to 2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. As a semi-succulent, Hoya stores moisture in its leaves and dislikes consistently wet soil. Use a well-draining mix and avoid overwatering. No need for misting — it handles average home humidity just fine.

  • Growth and Size


    This is a trailing or climbing plant, perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or training along supports. Indoors, it can grow several feet long over time, especially in well-lit spaces.

  • Pet-Friendly?

    Hoya carnosa is generally considered non-toxic, making it a safer choice for households with pets. As always, discourage chewing to protect both the plant and your animals.

  • Benefits and Air Quality

    Hoyas help support cleaner indoor air while adding movement and color with their long vines and variegated foliage. Their slow, tidy growth also makes them perfect for lower-maintenance plant styling.

  • Difficulty level

    Easy – A great option for beginners or collectors alike. Very low fuss and beautifully rewarding.
