Summary
The Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolour’ is a trailing houseplant with variegated leaves in dreamy shades of green, cream, and blush pink. With both beauty and grace, this striking plant is also incredibly easy to care for, making it a favourite among beginners and seasoned plant lovers alike. Perfect for shelves or hanging planters, the Hoya Tricolour thrives in bright, indirect light and needs watering when the top few centimetres of soil are dry. With its thick, waxy leaves, it’s a drought-tolerant variety that won’t sulk if you forget a watering here and there. Whether you’re building your indoor plant collection or looking for gift-worthy plants, the Hoya Tricolour ticks all the boxes: beautiful, unfussy, and timeless.
