Caring for Hoya Wayetii 'Tricolour'

Allow the top 50% to 75% of the chunky potting mix to dry out completely. Its succulent-like leaves store water efficiently, tolerating drought far better than soggy, airless soil.

Bright, indirect light is mandatory. High light levels keep creamy inner variegated centers bright and blush emerging leaves in vivid pink tones.

Feed every 4 weeks during spring and summer active growth using a half-strength balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer or orchid mist. Suspend feeding completely in fall and winter.

Repot sparingly every 2 to 3 years in spring, as roots prefer staying snug to promote heavy blooming. Use a coarse bark-and-perlite blend with excellent drainage.

Never snip off bare flower peduncles, as butterscotch-scented burgundy bloom clusters re-emerge repeatedly from the exact same spurs. Train vines up a trellis or let them trail.
