Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor'

Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor’ is a beautiful trailing houseplant with thick, waxy leaves edged in creamy white and soft pink, often flushed with deeper rose tones when grown in bright light. Also known as a Variegated Wax Plant, it’s a classic, easy-care choice with a more decorative twist.

The fleshy leaves store water, giving this plant a slightly succulent nature and making it more forgiving than many trailing houseplants. It can be styled cascading from a shelf or trained to climb around a hoop or trellis for a more structured look.

With time and the right conditions, mature plants may produce clusters of small, star-shaped flowers with a delicate fragrance, adding to its appeal.
