    •   Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' (Hoya carnosa) is a beloved vining houseplant in the Apocynaceae family, native to East Asia and Australia where it scrambles through humid, tropical forests. This variegated hoya has earned a devoted following among collectors and everyday plant lovers alike, and it is easy to see why.

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' produces thick, waxy leaves edged in creamy white and flushed with rosy pink, surrounding a deep green center that intensifies in brighter light. The foliage is firm and almost porcelain-smooth to the touch, giving this wax plant its classic nickname. As a trailing houseplant, long vines spill beautifully from a hanging basket or cascade off a high shelf, making it one of the most visually striking vining indoor plants you can grow.

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' produces clusters of star-shaped flowers, called umbels, that are waxy, pale pink to white, and carry a light, sweet fragrance most noticeable in the evening. Blooms appear most reliably in spring and summer when the plant receives bright indirect light and experiences a slight drop in nighttime temperatures. The same flower clusters can rebloom from the same spur year after year, so never remove spent peduncles after flowering.

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is a genuinely pet friendly houseplant, making it a safe and beautiful choice for homes with cats and dogs. It purifies indoor air by filtering formaldehyde and other common toxins, and it thrives near kitchen moisture or in any spot with naturally higher humidity. This low maintenance vining plant handles a 10-day trip without a caretaker, survives nicely under office LED lighting, and can summer outdoors as long as you keep it sheltered from direct rain and harsh midday sun. Rotate the pot every few weeks for even, balanced growth, and keep it away from AC vents and heating units that blast dry air directly onto the leaves.

    •   Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' thrives in bright indirect light and tolerates medium light, but scorches in south-facing windows with direct afternoon sun.

        Water Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' every 10 to 14 days in spring and summer, and reduce to once every 3 to 4 weeks in winter.

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' prefers a chunky, fast-draining mix of perlite, orchid bark, and standard potting soil in roughly equal parts.

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' grows best between 60 and 85°F (15 to 29°C) and should be protected from temperatures below 50°F (10°C).

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' grows at a moderate pace and benefits from a diluted balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during the active growing season.

        Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is hardy in USDA Zones 10 to 11, where temperatures rarely dip below 30 to 35°F (around -1 to 2°C), and can be grown outdoors year-round in those warmest regions. Those zones cover much of southern Florida, coastal and southern California, Hawaii, and the southernmost tips of Texas and Arizona. Gardeners across the rest of the country, including states like Georgia, Louisiana, South Carolina, Oregon, Nevada, Mississippi, and Alabama, enjoy Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' as a thriving indoor or patio plant brought in before the first frost.

    • Q: Is Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' safe for cats and dogs?
      A: Yes, Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is pet friendly and is not toxic to cats or dogs. It is a worry-free choice for homes with curious pets.

      Q: How much light does Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' need?
      A: Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' does best in bright indirect light but handles medium light including standard office LEDs. Avoid direct south-facing sun, which can scorch the variegated leaves.

      Q: How often should I water Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor'?
      A: Water Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' every 10 to 14 days during the growing season, and cut back to every 3 to 4 weeks in winter. The leaves will look slightly soft or wilted when the plant is thirsty.

      Q: How do I propagate Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor'?
      A: Take a stem cutting with at least one node and one or two leaves, then root it in water, moist sphagnum moss, or a light perlite mix. Roots typically appear within 3 to 6 weeks in warm, humid conditions.

      Q: Why is my Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' not blooming?
      A: Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' blooms most reliably when it receives bright indirect light and experiences a slight drop in nighttime temperatures. Make sure you are not removing old flower spurs, since new blooms emerge from the same spot each season.

      Q: Can Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' go outside in summer?
      A: Yes, Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' loves a warm, shaded outdoor spot during summer months. Keep it covered from heavy rain and away from intense direct sun to protect both the foliage and the roots.

      🌿 For Houseplants
      When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
      Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
      Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
      *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
