Hoya Wayetii Tricolor

Hoya Wayetii Tricolor – A Splash of Color and Purifying Power

Add a pop of color and a breath of fresh air to your indoor jungle with the Hoya Wayetii Tricolor. This semi-succulent beauty boasts elongated, waxy leaves with vibrant variegation—rich green centers bordered by creamy pinks and reds. Over time, it will trail gracefully, making it perfect for hanging baskets or elevated shelves.

Available in the following sizes:

• Nursery Pot - Standard plastic 2 or 4-inch planter pot that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.

• Valentina Terracotta 5.5" Pot - a beautiful molded terracotta pot that is porous and fire-glazed to allow plant roots to breathe; color works well with any decor and will develop a beautiful patina color over time. Includes matching dish underneath to catch water drainage and protect surfaces.

Care Tips
🌿 Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too little light will dull the variegation.
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings. This hoya prefers a bit of drought—think “less is more.”
🌡️ Hardiness Zones: Best suited for USDA zones 10–11 if grown outdoors; otherwise, it's a perfect indoor companion.
💨 Air Purifying: Known to purify the air by filtering out common household toxins, making it both beautiful andfunctional.
🌸 Blooms: With proper care and lighting, it may reward you with clusters of star-shaped, sweetly scented flowers. These blooms are not only stunning—they also attract pollinators, bringing nature even closer to home.
🐾 Pet Friendly: Safe for your curious cats and dogs, this plant is as gentle as it is striking.

Bonus Tip: Hoyas love being slightly root-bound and thrive in airy, well-draining soil. During growing season, a diluted liquid fertilizer once a month will help encourage those dreamy blooms.

Whether you're a seasoned collector or a new plant parent, the Hoya Wayetii Tricolor is a rewarding, low-maintenance choice that brings color, life, and clean air into your space.
