Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolor’ is grown as a trailing plant or in a hanging basket but its long, pliant tendrils can also be woven around hoops or frames as an interesting indoor feature. The beautiful green, white and pink foliage of this variegated Hoya makes it a favourite for this application. It needs very bright but indirect light in a warm, humid room and should not be overwatered. Let the soil dry out moderately before watering again. Being a semi-succulent epiphytic plant, it draws moisture and nutrients from the air, making it drought tolerant and easy to care for.
