Wax Plant ‘Tricolour’ | Hoya carnosa

Wax Plant ‘Tricolour’ | Hoya carnosa Care:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage blooming. Direct sun can scorch leaves, while too much shade prevents flowering.

• Watering: Water thoroughly only when the soil has dried out. They are drought-tolerant but susceptible to root rot if overwatered.

• Soil: Requires airy, well-draining, and chunky potting mix. A blend of potting soil, orchid bark, and perlite works best.

• Humidity: Thrives in 50-60% humidity but adapts well to average home humidity. Mist or use a humidifier if necessary.

• Temperature: Thrives in standard, warm household temperatures 16-24ºC. Keep away from cold drafts.

• Fertiliser: Use a balanced houseplant fertiliser diluted to half-strength once a month during the growing season (spring-summer).
