Hoya ‘Lisa’ (Variegated Australis Hoya)
A stunning trailing or climbing succulent vine prized for its thick, waxy leaves with striking variegation. Hoya ‘Lisa’ features splashes of creamy white and pale green that create a marbled effect, making it a standout addition to any indoor plant collection.
Appearance
The succulent, glossy leaves are oval-shaped with delicate variegation that intensifies in bright light. Over time, the plant forms long, trailing stems perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. In optimal conditions, it may produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers.
Light
Thrives in bright, indirect light. Variegation is more pronounced in well-lit areas. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the leaves.
Water
Allow the soil to dry between waterings. Hoya ‘Lisa’ stores water in its thick leaves, so it is drought-tolerant and prefers infrequent watering rather than consistently moist soil.
Temperature & Environment
Prefers warm, stable indoor temperatures and moderate humidity. Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.
Growth Habit
A trailing or climbing vine that can reach several feet long. Supports can help encourage vertical growth or cascading displays in hanging planters.
Pet & Human Safety
Non-toxic to pets, but the latex sap may irritate sensitive skin. Handle with care when pruning or propagating.
