Variegated Hoya, Wax Vine with beautiful leaves.
As a member of the Hoya family, sometimes also called wax plants due to shiny waxy leaves, the Heuschkeliana thrives in bright indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight to ensure its optimal growth and leaf variegation. The plant can handle also direct morning and after-afternoon sunlight. Water the plant when the soil becomes dry, and be mindful not to overwater as Hoyas prefer well-draining soil.
One of the highlights of the Hoya Australis ‘Lisa’ is its clusters of delicate, star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet fragrance. These blooms appear in shades of pink or white, adding a delightful touch to the overall charm of the plant. Currently, our plants are not blooming but in the proper care, you can anticipate the joy of witnessing these beautiful blossoms.
Hoya Heuschkeliana is a low-maintenance and resilient plant which makes it a great home and office plant. Ideal for beginners or as a birthday or housewarming gift for plant lovers!
The planter have removeable hanging attachment.

☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Heuschkeliana Variegated thrives in bright, indirect light. A spot near a window that offers plenty of filtered light is ideal. It can also tolerate direct sunlight in the mornings and late afternoons, which helps maintain its stunning leaf variegation.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Water your Hoya when the topsoil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging, as Hoyas do not like to sit in wet soil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so less is often more with this plant.
