✨ Each plant is individually selected from current stock. Colour, variegation patterns, and trailing length may vary slightly – each one is naturally unique.

🪴 Plants are shipped in nursery pots using recyclable and reused packaging materials, and come with a scannable QR code for detailed care instructions.

🪴 Quick Care Guide
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light – a little gentle morning sun is beneficial
💧 Watering: Allow soil to dry between waterings
💦 Humidity: Average home humidity is fine, but enjoys occasional misting
💦 Extra Tip: Plant in our Highland Moss premium succulent potting mix for healthy roots and vibrant growth

⚠️ Important:
Please note that hoyas are generally considered pet-safe but can cause mild stomach upset if large quantities are eaten.

How often should I water my Hoya Carnosa Tricolour?: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Typically, watering once a week should suffice, but always check the top inch of soil for dryness first.
Can the Hoya Carnosa Tricolouir be placed in direct sunlight?: This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning sun is beneficial, but prolonged exposure to direct sunlight can scorch its leaves.
Is this plant suitable for beginners?: Yes, it is particularly forgiving and low-maintenance, making it an ideal choice for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts alike.

Your Guide to Caring for the Hoya Carnosa Tricolour Wax Plant

☀️ Light

Scale: ☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

This lovely plant thrives in bright, indirect light. A spot where it can soak up some gentle morning sun would be ideal, enhancing its vibrant leaf variegation.

💧 Water

Scale: 💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Water your Hoya Carnosa Tricolour when the top inch of soil feels dry. Be sure to let the soil dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

💧️ Temperature

Scale: 🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)

Hoyas prefer average room temperatures between 16°C to 24°C. Avoid placing your plant near drafts or sources of extreme cold or heat.

💦 Humidity

Scale: 💦💦▫️ (Moderate)

The Hoya Carnosa Tricolour enjoys average to slightly higher humidity levels. Occasional misting will keep it happy, especially during drier months.

💦 Repotting

Repot your Hoya every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Use Highland Moss premium succulent potting mix for the best results. This ensures healthy roots and vibrant growth.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is generally considered pet-safe. However, ingestion in large quantities might cause mild stomach upset in pets.

🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

Ideal spots include shelves, windowsills, or in hanging planters where it can beautifully trail down. Bright, well-lit kitchens and living rooms are perfect.

☀️ Air Purifying

The Hoya Carnosa Tricolour is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it a great addition to any indoor space for a fresher environment.

✨ Other Plant Features

Besides its stunning looks and air-purifying capabilities, mature plants may produce clusters of star-shaped, sweetly scented flowers — a delightful bonus for plant lovers!

Authentic Photos of Our Plants: We take every photo you see, showcasing the actual plants we offer. Each plant is selected randomly unless otherwise stated, adding a touch of surprise to your order.

Natural Variations Make Each Plant Unique: No two plants are the same. Differences in size, leaf count, and minor cosmetic imperfections are part of their charm and individuality, making your plant truly one of a kind.

Healthy Plants, Always: While we can’t guarantee an exact match to the photos, we promise to send only happy, healthy plants that are well-cared for and ready to thrive in your space.

Let Your Plant Settle: Allow your new plant to adjust to its surroundings for 1–2 weeks before repotting, propagating, or making any major changes. This settling-in period reduces stress and helps your plant flourish.

Shipped-in Trusted Potting Mix: Our plants are delivered in a standard grower’s potting mix. When you’re ready to repot, choose from our premium-quality mixes designed specifically for aroids, succulents, and terrariums, available in our shop.

Expert Guidance on Repotting: I’m unsure if it’s time to repot. Check out our article, When to Repot Your Plant, for expert advice on keeping your plant healthy and happy.

Support for Climbing Plants: For Monstera, Philodendron, and Syngonium, add one of our handmade sphagnum moss poles and a watering drip cup. These accessories encourage natural growth, support larger leaves, and keep your plants neat and upright.

Simple Care at Your Fingertips: Every plant includes plant care instructions, and you can scan the QR code on the nursery pot to access detailed guides. For additional help, our Moss Bot is available 24/7 on the website to answer your plant care questions.

Excellent package and delivery. The moss is ideal for forcing my Christmas bulb gifts and the potted plant is beautiful and a welcome addition to my collection. Will be returning and adding gift cards for Highland moss to my birthday and Christmas lists. An outstanding find and highly recommend.
