Add a pop of colour to your shelves with Hoya australis Lisa, a variegated wax plant loved for its thick, glossy leaves in green and creamy yellow, with new growth that can flush soft pink in bright light. This is a brilliant choice if you want a plant that looks special without being fussy.
Lisa can trail from a shelf or climb a hoop or trellis, making it easy to style. Given time and good light, mature plants may reward you with clusters of star shaped, sweetly scented blooms.
Quick care guide
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light (a little gentle morning sun is fine)
💧 Water: Let most of the pot dry out, then water well and drain
💦 Humidity: Average home humidity is fine, a little extra helps growth
🌱 Top tip: Keep it snug in its pot and avoid moving it if buds appear
Pet note: Hoyas are widely considered pet friendly, but any plant can cause tummy upset if chewed, so keep out of reach of curious pets.
Your plant comes with a scannable QR code on the nursery pot for care guidance. Packaging materials are recyclable and often reused. If you choose to repot later, a good quality chunky mix is best, and Highland Moss premium potting mixes are available on our website.
- How often should I water my Hoya Australis Lisa?
- Water the plant when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Hoyas are susceptible to root rot if kept too wet.
- Can the Hoya Australis Lisa thrive in low light environments?
- While it can survive in medium light, it prefers bright, indirect light to maintain vibrant leaf variegation and encourage blooming. Low light may lead to less frequent flowers and duller leaf colours.
- Is the Hoya Australis Lisa suitable for homes with pets?
- Yes, this plant is pet-friendly. It does not contain toxins that are harmful to cats or dogs, making it a safe choice for pet owners.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Australis Lisa thrives in bright, indirect light. It enjoys a spot near a window where it can bask in plenty of filtered sunlight. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, particularly in the morning or late afternoon, too much direct sun can scorch its leaves. For best variegation, ensure it gets adequate light.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Hoya Australis Lisa when the top inch of soil feels dry. It’s important to avoid overwatering, as Hoyas prefer their soil to be well-draining. Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings, but don’t let it go completely dry for extended periods.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
Hoya Australis Lisa enjoys typical indoor temperatures ranging from 15°C to 25°C. It can tolerate short periods of cooler temperatures, but frost or prolonged exposure to temperatures below 10°C can be harmful to the plant.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant does well in moderate to high humidity environments (60% – 80%). If your home is on the drier side, consider using a humidity tray or a room humidifier to keep your Hoya happy.
🪴 Repotting
Hoya Australis Lisa typically needs to be repotted every 2-3 years or when it has outgrown its current pot. Use a well-draining potting mix, ideally one formulated for succulents or cacti, to ensure healthy growth. Ensure the new pot has adequate drainage holes.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is pet-friendly! Feel free to place it in areas accessible to your furry friends without worry.
✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home
Ideal spots for your Hoya include well-lit bathrooms, kitchens, or near east or west-facing windows. These locations typically provide the perfect balance of light and humidity.
✨ Other Plant Features
The Hoya Australis Lisa is not only visually stunning but also capable of blooming with proper care. Its star-shaped flowers are not only a treat to look at but also emit a delightful fragrance, enhancing your home’s atmosphere.
