Sale price  $14.95 Regular price 

Hoya australis ‘Lisa’ brings a warm mix of color to a bright shelf. Its thick, glossy, oval leaves carry green and cream-to-yellow variegation, while fresh growth can flush pink or reddish before settling into its mature colors. Each plant’s leaf pattern and fullness vary naturally.

Points of interest and size

  • One live Hoya australis ‘Lisa’ in a 4-inch nursery grow pot.
  • A compact young vine when shipped; indoors, established vines can reach several feet long, often about 3–6 feet over time with support or room to trail. Trim to keep it smaller.
  • Under favorable mature growing conditions, Hoyas can produce clusters of small, star-shaped, fragrant flowers.

Care guide

  • Light: Give bright indirect light; gentle morning sun can help maintain color. Protect leaves from harsh afternoon sun. Low light can reduce variegation and slow growth.
  • Water: Let the top half of the potting mix dry before watering thoroughly, then drain fully. Water less often in winter; avoid keeping roots constantly wet.
  • Soil: Use a loose, fast-draining mix with orchid bark and perlite in a pot with drainage holes.
  • Humidity and temperature: Average indoor humidity works, though moderate humidity can help growth. Keep warm and away from cold drafts.
  • Feeding: Feed lightly with a balanced houseplant fertilizer diluted according to the label during spring and summer growth; reduce or pause in winter.
  • Pruning: Trim long vines just above a node to shape the plant. Leave old flower spurs intact, since future blooms may form there.
  • Repotting: Check roots every 1–2 years and move up only one pot size if crowded. Refresh the airy mix without burying the stems deeper.
  • Propagation: Root healthy stem cuttings with at least one node in water or a lightly moist airy medium in warm bright indirect light.

Pet safety

Hoya australis is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs. Keep plants out of reach of pets that chew leaves.
