• Light – Prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, especially in the afternoon.

• Watering – Water moderately, letting the top inch of soil dry out between waterings. Reduce watering in winter, and avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

• Humidity – Hoya Carnosa Tricolor can adapt to average household humidity but appreciates higher levels. Misting or a nearby water tray can help.

• Soil – Use a well-draining mix with peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark to ensure proper drainage.

• Pruning – Occasional pruning maintains its shape and promotes bushier growth. Trim long vines and remove yellowing leaves.

• Fertilizer – Feed monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer during spring and summer. Reduce or stop during winter dormancy.

• Support – As a vining plant, it benefits from a trellis or support. Gently guide its vines as they grow.
