Hoya carnosa 'Tricolour’
Height: 15cm
Pot diameter: 12cm (I fit pots with an opening of 12.5cm+)
Hoya, or 'wax plants', have made a comeback after their 70's love affair, and it's easy to see why. Their lovely waxy leaves and stunning clusters of star-shaped flowers make them a great choice for a macrame hanger or a shelf.
Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' have leaves that come in pink and then turn cream and green. They require hands-off care and will grow steadily once you've find their sweet spot.
💧 Water when the soil has dried out. It is much better to err on the side of underwatering when it comes to Hoya.
🌞 They thrive in bright, indirect light. A north-facing windowsill is ideal, or slightly back from an east or west. In a south-facing room, make sure it does not receive intense direct sun for too long.
🐶🐱 Hoya are non-toxic to cats, dogs and people - yay!
