- The Hoya carnosa ‘Tricolour’ is a small but eye-catching plant that adds soft colour and interest to any space. Its mix of green, cream, and pink leaves gives it a really unique look, especially on new growth where the pink tones stand out the most. It’s perfect for shelves, desks, or windowsills if you want something a bit different without taking up much room.
- As it grows, it begins to trail, making it ideal for letting it spill over the edge of a pot or eventually placing in a hanging planter. It’s a slow but rewarding grower, gradually developing into a fuller, more flowing plant over time. With the right conditions, it can also produce clusters of small, star-shaped flowers with a light fragrance, which makes it even more satisfying to grow.
- It’s easy to look after too. Place it in bright, indirect light, let the soil dry out between watering, and avoid overwatering. Once settled, it’s a low-maintenance plant that doesn’t need much attention, making it a great choice for beginners or anyone wanting something simple but a bit more interesting.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.
Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use well-drained soil and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.
