Also known as: Tricolor Wax Plant, Variegated Hoya, Rainbow Hoya

Hoya Tricolor is a colorful tropical houseplant known for its thick, waxy leaves in a beautiful mix of deep green, creamy white, and soft pink. Native to Eastern Asia and Australia, this striking Hoya plant develops its best color in bright indirect light, where the variegation can become even more vibrant. Its thick leaves store moisture, allowing the soil to dry slightly between waterings and making it relatively easy to care for. Hoya Tricolor looks beautiful inhanging baskets, plant shelves, and bright indoor spaces, where its trailing vines and colorful foliage can really stand out.

care

Place in a warm, bright spot with indirect light and keep away from cold drafts.

Never remove the woody stems after flowering as the plant reblooms from the same spots each season. Mist leaves occasionally or place near a humidifier for best growth and blooming.
