Hoya Wayetii 'Tricolor' has long wavy leaves in a dazzling array of colours. Place it in bright light and see shades of green, cream, yellow, pink and red emerge from its glossy lance-like leaves. In darker spaces, the leaves will be greener but still offer attractive tumbling vine-like strands of waxy leaves.
In ideal (bright indirect light and temperature stable) conditions, Wayetii can also flower with delicate but showy sweet-smelling purple blooms. They are relatively easy to care for and have air-purifying qualities.
Horty Hints
Growing, Growing, Gone! These fast-growing vines can get up to 10m high in the right environment. Give your plant plenty to climb up, or alternatively, grow it back down the way.
Hoya flowers may produce drops of sticky nectar, this is completely normal but remember to protect your furniture.
Feeling the Burn! While this plant needs some sun in order to bloom, it's important not to overdo it. Bleached or browning leaves might suggest a change of location.
