The Hoya wayetii ‘Variegata’ is a rare and eye-catching vining plant prized for its narrow, succulent-like leaves edged in creamy white, blush pink, and pale green. When exposed to bright light, the margins can develop a stunning red hue that adds even more contrast to its already beautiful foliage. Like other Hoyas, this variety is drought-tolerant, low-maintenance, and capable of producing clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers with the right care. A must-have for Hoya lovers and collectors of variegated wonders!
Key Features
A slow to moderate grower, Hoya wayetii ‘Variegata’ forms elegant trailing vines that can reach several feet in length over time. Perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves where its vines can spill gracefully. Hoyas also like to climb, consider giving your hoya a hoop or trellis for support.
Pet-Friendliness
Generally considered non-toxic to pets. Safe for cats and dogs, making it a great choice for pet-friendly homes.
Care Instructions
Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh midday rays to protect the variegation.
Watering: Allow the top 2–3 inches of soil to dry out before watering. Hoyas prefer to dry out slightly between waterings—less is more.
Humidity: Appreciates moderate humidity but will adapt to normal indoor levels. Boost humidity in winter if air becomes too dry.
Temperature: Thrives in 18°C–26°C. Protect from cold drafts and avoid temperatures below 13°C.
Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix—an orchid or cactus blend with added perlite or bark works great.
Fertilizer: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a diluted, balanced liquid fertilizer. Hold off in fall and winter.
Pruning: Trim back leggy vines to encourage fuller growth or propagate new plants.
Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when noticeably rootbound. Hoyas flower better when slightly snug in their pots.
Pro Tip: If you're trying to get your Hoya to bloom, make sure it has bright light, stable temperatures, and don’t remove the flower spurs—they’ll rebloom from the same spot!
