Hoya Carnosa

The pink coloration is a stress response to light. Place your Hoya in a spot with bright, indirect light to encourage the variegation to blush, but avoid harsh, direct sun which can scorch the foliage.

Yes, the Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor’ is quite resilient. It prefers to dry out between waterings, making it a forgiving choice for those who occasionally forget their plant care routine.

It arrives in a standard 4-inch nursery pot, which provides excellent drainage. When you repot it, ensure your decorative container also has drainage holes to prevent root rot, as Hoyas do not like sitting in soggy soil.

Growth speed depends on your environment, but generally, this is a moderate grower. With consistent bright, indirect light and proper care, you can expect it to trail beautifully over time.

While it can survive in lower light, it will not thrive. You will likely lose the vibrant pink and white variegation, and the plant may become 'leggy' as it stretches to find a better light source.
