Tax included.

A species of flowering plants in the genus Hoya - an evergreen vine native to The Philippines. In this country they need to be grown in a warm bright room in the house or heated conservatory. This plant grows naturally as an epiphyte high up in trees, taking its nutrients and water directly from its host plant. Can grow up to 6 feet long, and flower if cared for properly This variety 'Tricolour' boasts 3 different colours across its leaves. 

RATING- Moderate

LOVES- Dry to semi-dry soil. This plant could grow out of orchid bark so minimal watering is required. Would benefit from misting occasionally. Bright light with some sun is the position.

HATES- Over-watering or waterlogged soil-which will lead to root rot. This plant doesn’t like to be re-potted too frequently as it prefers to be root bound. Do not remove dead flowers.

Pot diameter 6cm

    Quick Care Guide

    Care Difficulty: Has moderate care needs.

    Light requirements: Prefer bright indirect light. Some direct early morning or late afternoon sun is ok. Midday direct sunlight can cause the leaves to burn. An east or west facing window is best.

    Watering: Hoya can store water in their leaves so are some what drought tolerant. Water thoroughly but allow this plant to dry out half way between waterings. Cut back further in winter. Over watering signs can include yellowing leaves.

    Humidity: Can adapt well to normal household conditions but will enjoy some humidity.

    Toxicity: Toxic to humans and pets

    Feeding: Enjoys being fed during Spring- Summer growth period once a month. Always follow the instructions on your feed of choice.

    Repotting: Doesn't mind being slightly root bound as it dislikes its roots being disturbed. Repot around once every 2 years -check to see if the roots are coming out the bottom of the pot!
