Thrives in Bright Light

Easy-Care Plant
The Hoya Carnosa 'Tricolor' is a beloved vining houseplant admired for its gorgeous variegated leaves—each one a unique blend of creamy white, pink, and green. New growth often appears with a rosy hue, adding an extra touch of charm. With its thick, waxy foliage and trailing habit, it's a showstopper in hanging baskets or trained up a trellis.
This low-maintenance plant is not only beautiful, but also blooms with clusters of star-shaped, sweetly scented flowers under the right conditions.
