House Plant Shop Hoya Carnosa

While it doesn't strictly require one, it is a vining plant that benefits significantly from a trellis. Providing a support structure encourages a fuller, more organized display as the stems grow.

This plant prefers to dry out between waterings. Check the soil moisture and only water when it feels dry to the touch, as Hoya roots are sensitive to being kept constantly soggy.

No, the Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.

To encourage those fragrant, star-shaped flowers, place your Hoya in a spot with bright, indirect light. While it can survive in lower light, it is unlikely to bloom without sufficient brightness.

You can increase humidity by grouping it with other plants, using a pebble tray with water, or placing it in a naturally humid room like a bathroom with a window. Misting is an option, though it provides only temporary relief.
