Hoya carnosa Tricolour 5.5cm ⚡

🌿 Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolour’ Care Guide

The Tricolour is a timeless favourite — thick waxy leaves edged in cream and pink, often blushing deeper in bright light. Trailing, easygoing, and beautifully fragrant when in bloom, it’s a plant that gets better with age.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light for strong variegation

• A little gentle sun enhances pink tones

• Lower light may reduce colour contrast

💧 Water

• Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings

• Prefers slightly drier conditions

• Use a very well-draining mix (bark, perlite, coco coir)

🌫️ Humidity

• Enjoys moderate humidity (40–60%)

• Adapts well to normal indoor air

🍽️ Feeding

• Balanced fertilizer every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer

• Reduce feeding in cooler months

🌱 Quick Tips

• Don’t remove flower spurs — they rebloom from the same spot

• Perfect for hanging planters or climbing supports

• Pet-safe — non-toxic to cats and dogs 🐾

💡 Big Plant Lad Wisdom

The Tricolour is soft romance — creamy edges, pink blush, and sweet blooms when happy. It’s a slow grower, but absolutely worth the wait.
