Hoya Carnosa Tricolor - Wax Plant Care & Info Guide
Scientific name: Hoya Carnosa variegata ‘Tricolor’
Common Names: Crimson Princess, Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower, Wax vine, Honey Plant

Hoya Carnosa Tricolor, also known as Crimson Princess, has lush leaves, with pink and white variegation. They’re easy upkeep, durability, and elegant appearance make it a top choice for many plant enthusiasts. It is no wonder Hoya’s are going through a revival.

Hoyas aren’t technically succulents, but are succulent-like with their spongy, waxy leaves. The thick shiny leaves have green leaf borders and variegation in the center that cover beautiful, long slender stems. This draping succulent vine produces stunning clusters of star-shaped waxy flowers. As a bonus, the Hoya’s dainty flowers have a lovely fragrance, especially at night. However, Hoyas bloom when they feel like it,
especially indoors where they naturally take longer to bloom.

This type of Hoya is very easy to care for as long as you keep it in a bright spot and are careful with watering. They also make excellent hanging plants where they can trail freely. Their air-purifying qualities and mild tolerance to drought make them a lovely addition to any houseplant collection.
Hoya Carnosa Tricolor Light Requirements: These majestic houseplants grow well under artificial light making them a perfect addition to your home or office. Hoya ‘Tricolor’ prefers bright indirect light and can even tolerate some full sun. Morning or late afternoon sun is ideal. Strong direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so avoid intense afternoon sun. Unfiltered light can cause the leaves to bleach yellow and fall off.
Hoya Carnosa Tricolor grows at a moderate to slow rate indoors. During winter, of course the growth slows down more. The lower the light, the slower the growth rate. A bright, sunny spot indoors is ideal.
The Hoya won’t flower unless it receives very bright indirect sunlight. It can cope in light shade but is unlikely to bloom. Making sure to keep your new plant away from any cold draft as well as air-conditioning or heating vents.
Hoya Carnosa Tricolor Watering Requirements: This house plant requires water about every week and less often in the fall and winter. However, it’s always better to underwater them than to over water. If the leaves are yellow and a bit mushy, then you’re overwatering. Allow the soil of your Hoya Carnosa Tricolor to completely dry, then give it a thorough watering and allow the water to drain out completely. Do not over-water as too much water will kill the plant. When your potting soil is dry to the touch, it is time to water. Hoya Carnosa Tricolor is VERY sensitive to too much water, make sure yours is potted in a pot that has a drainage hole.
Hoya Carnosa Tricolor Temperature: Hoya Carnosa is happy in room temperatures from 65°- 80° F. They are not cold hardy, so avoid temperatures below 50 ° F or extreme temperatures.
Hoya Carnosa Tricolor Humidity: Prefers higher levels of humidity (preferably 40%-60%) although they are tolerant of more moderate, indoor humidity levels. Misting a few times a week should help out with any humidity issues in your home. Hoya Carnosa Tricolor likes heat and humidity so keep this one away from drafty windows and AC units. Extremely arid climates may cause dryness at the tips of leaves.
Soil: Hoya carnosa prefers a well-draining, yet moisture-retentive soil. Regular potting soil works just fine. Amend soil with coco coir and compost to improve moisture retention and supplement soil nutrients.
