EASY TO GROW STARTER PLANT:
This plant grows fast and strong and it is a great starter plant. Very similar to succulents. One of the easiest Hoyas to grow.
Makes a nice hanging basket as it’ll eventually have lots of hanging vines. Drought and sun tolerant, but grows better in bright shade/filtered light.
Why it’s special:
Everything you love about the classic Carnosa, but with leaves lined in white and pink, in addition to the green. Occasionally, this Hoya will have stems of bright pink and will shoot out solid white leaves. A stunner.
What it likes:
This is one of the pickier Hoyas. It needs very bright, but indirect light, to thrive. Also enjoys heat and high humidity. Follow watering procedure for normal carnosa, above.
What it dislikes:
Low-medium light, cold drafty windows. Particularly sensitive to over-watering. Portlanders, be sure you have a bright enough spot to keep this one happy!
