Description

Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor'

Name: Hoya carnosa (L.f.) R.Br. ‘Tricolor’

Synonyms: Asclepias carnosa L.f.

Etymology: The genus name Hoya was given by Robert Brown in honor of the English gardener Thomas Hoy. The epithet carnosa means “fleshy” and refers to the fleshy leaves.

First description: The species was described in 1782 by Carl von Linné the Younger as Asclepias carnosa; the combination Hoya carnosa was published in 1810 by Robert Brown.

Origin / Habitat: Southern China to Laos, as well as Japan to Taiwan, in subtropical and moist tropical regions. It grows climbing as an epiphyte or lithophyte.

Description & Care: Climbing Hoya with fleshy leaves; in ‘Tricolor’, the foliage is green, cream-white, and tinged with pink. We cultivate it in bright to very bright, warm conditions, with good air circulation and moderate to regular moisture. Between waterings, the substrate may dry out slightly. We keep it at around 18–28 °C.
