add a pot to fit this plant
Hoya australis 'Tricolour' is a beautiful variegated wax plant prized for its glossy green leaves splashed with creamy white and pink tones. New growth often emerges with vibrant pink colouring, making this an eye-catching addition to any houseplant collection.
This easy-care Hoya can be grown as a trailing plant from a shelf or hanging pot, or trained to climb a support for a more dramatic display. Given the right conditions, mature plants may also produce clusters of fragrant star-shaped flowers.
Allow the top few centimetres of compost to dry between waterings, then water thoroughly. Position in bright, indirect light to maintain strong variegation and encourage healthy growth. Feed every two weeks during spring and summer.
Pet Friendly: Hoya australis 'Tricolour' is considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a great choice for pet-friendly homes.

Care Instructions
Light
Prefers indirect bright light and will tolerate direct sunlight in the morning or evening. If positioned in a shadier spot the plant will offer less growth and require less water.
Water
Thoroughly water, then allow the top few centimeters of compost to dry before re-watering. Water less in winter when the plant is growing more slowly. Over-watering can cause root rot.
Food
Feed every second time you water through spring and summer with a quality liquid plant food. There is no need to feed this plant in winter.
Humidity
This plant enjoys humidity. Place in a bathroom and/or mist regularly with water. Remove dust from the leaves with a damp cloth to improve photosynthesis.
