Hoya Wayetii Variegated

Hoya wayetii 'Variegata' — the variegated form of Hoya wayetii, a trailing species from the Philippines. Long, narrow, pointed leaves edged in cream, with new growth that often flushes pink in bright light and dark leaf margins that deepen with sun. A fast, full trailer that makes an excellent hanging plant; clusters of small, dark maroon star flowers.

Also known as: Variegated Wayetii; Hoya wayetii Tricolor.

What you'll receive: Choose your form above. Grower's choice unless otherwise noted in the variant selection — we hand-select a healthy specimen; exact size, leaf count, and patterning vary between individuals.

• Unrooted cuttings & newly rooted plants: potted in our rooting medium (moss petals, perlite, tree fern fiber, small Orchiata, myco). Cuttings can be shipped bare/in damp moss instead — message us at the time of order if you'd prefer that.
• Established plants: potted in tree fern fiber, perlite, coconut husk, myco (occasionally moss petals), with slow-release 14-14-14 fertilizer balls.

Care:

• Light: Bright, indirect
• Water: Slightly underwatered; let dry partway between waterings
• Humidity: 50% tolerated; 60%+ encourages stronger leaf expression and faster growth
• Peduncles: Don't disturb flower spurs once they appear — Hoyas rebloom from the same spot year after year

Insulation and/or Heat Pack strongly recommended for shipping when temperatures drop below 50°F.

For pest prevention I use beneficial insects, and otherwise treat with natural, chemical-free products like PureCrop1.

Display photos may be of mother plants or prop pots and do not represent the plant size — please review the size variants before purchasing.

A note on roots: Unless a listing explicitly states that a plant is well established, please treat any plant offered as "rooted" as newly rooted. I group-propagate and split my plants, so a plant may have recently been separated from its group prop pot — meaning its roots may not yet reach the sides or bottom of the pot. This is here to avoid any disagreements over what "rooted" means from one grower to the next.
