    Hoya Carnosa Tricolor

    Botanical Name: Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'
    Common Name(s): Tricolor Hoya, Variegated Wax Plant

    The Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is a stunning, variegated cultivar of the popular Hoya carnosa, known for its unique and eye-catching foliage that features a combination of green, cream, and pink tones. This variety of Hoya is especially prized for the subtle blend of colors on its thick, waxy leaves, which can have deep green centers surrounded by creamy white margins, with occasional pink hues appearing along the edges or in new growth. The 'Tricolor' name refers to this tri-colored pattern, which gives the plant a beautiful, almost marbled appearance, making it a popular choice for plant collectors and enthusiasts looking for a plant that offers both foliage and floral appeal.

    Like other Hoya plants, the Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is a slow-growing, vining species that produces clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers. These small blooms are typically pale pink to white with a waxy texture, and they have a sweet, intoxicating fragrance, especially when blooming in larger clusters. The flowers are usually borne in umbels and can last for several days, adding both visual and aromatic charm to the plant.

    Native to Southeast Asia, this plant thrives in warm, humid environments and is well-suited to indoor cultivation. Its growth habit is somewhat trailing or cascading, making it a fantastic option for hanging baskets, pots with trellises, or as a trailing accent along shelves or windowsills. The plant generally reaches 6–10 feet (1.8–3 meters) in length when given enough space to trail, though it can also be pruned to maintain a more compact size.

    The Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' prefers bright, indirect light. In lower light conditions, the vibrant pink and cream variegation may fade, and the plant may become leggy. . The plant can tolerate some direct morning sun but should be shielded from intense afternoon rays.

    The ideal temperature for this variety is between 65-85°F (18-29°C). It prefers warm, stable conditions, so it should be kept away from drafts, air conditioners, or sudden temperature fluctuations that can stress the plant. Watering should be done when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry to the touch. Like many Hoya species, the 'Tricolor' is relatively drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot. 

    Note: The Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for households with cats and dogs.
