Hoya australis ‘Lisa’, 4-Inch Pot

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.

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. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Amend with orchid bark and perlite as needed to keep the mix loose and fast-draining.
• Humidity and temperature: Average indoor humidity works, though moderate humidity can help growth. Keep warm and away from cold drafts.
• Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
• 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.
