Hoya Wayetii Variegated (Wax Plant) is an evergreen, epiphytic, vining houseplant often referred to as a wax plant. This plant is native to the tropical forests of the Philippines in Asia, where it grows by climbing on trees.
The unique attraction is its narrow, elongated, lance-shaped leaves that boast beautiful cream, white, and pink variegation along the margins. With sufficient light, the leaf edges will also develop a striking deep red or maroon "sun-stress" margin, enhancing its tricolor appeal.

Bright, Indirect Light is essential. This light level is necessary to maintain the vibrant pink/cream variegation and encourage the deep red sun-stress along the leaf margins.
Allow the soil to dry out almost completely (the top 75-80% of the soil) between waterings. Hoya leaves are thick and waxy, indicating they store water. Overwatering is the biggest risk and can cause root rot.
Requires an airy, well-draining potting mix suitable for epiphytes or succulents. A mix of standard potting soil, orchid bark, perlite, and/or coco coir is ideal.
