Hoya Tricolour
About Our Hoya Tricolour
Hoya Tricolour Bio
Native to the tropical rainforests of Australia and eastern Asia, the Hoya Tricolour is a stunning trailing plant with striking variegations of pink and white on its glossy, deep green leaves. As a natural epiphyte - often found growing on tree trunks - it is well adapted to a range of conditions, making it an ideal and low-maintenance houseplant.
Light Instructions
Hoya Tricolour thrives in bright, indirect light, where sunlight is diffused, but it can also adapt to some direct sunlight. Avoid placing it in low-light areas.

During its first few days in your home, your Hoya Tricolour may drop a leaf or two. This is completely normal as it adjusts to its new surroundings. Once settled, it’s an easy-going plant that quickly bounces back from minor mishaps. To keep it growing evenly, dust the leaves occasionally and rotate the pot by a quarter turn each month. If you’d like it to grow taller, you can train the vines to climb a totem or moss pole. With the right light, Hoya Tricolour will produce beautiful blooms. However, its nectar can stain surfaces, so place the pot accordingly and avoid rotating it during flowering.
Most hoya plants prefer medium to bright, indirect light. Some grow well with about two hours of direct sunlight in the morning or evening, but too much sun exposure may burn their leaves or cause them to turn yellow.
The Hoya Tricolour grows relatively quickly, and new shoots may appear in just a couple of months. Indoors, it can grow up to 1.8 metres, but in its natural environment, it can grow up to 6 metres long.
