Hoya australis ‘Lisa’ is a stunning variegated cultivar of the classic Wax Plant, admired for its thick succulent leaves marked with bold, opaque cream to pale green variegation. Originating from a variegation mutation of H. australis ssp. tenuipes, it offers a striking architectural presence in hanging baskets, mounted frames, or trellises.
🌸 Flowers
Blooms in lush umbels of white star-shaped flowers, each with a deep pink to crimson corona, creating a lovely bicolor contrast.
Flowers emit a spicy-sweet fragrance, enhancing indoor environments, often pronounced in the evening.
Each bloom cluster measures around 15–20 flowers, about 5 mm per bloom, and may rebloom from the same stem—avoid removing old peduncles to encourage repeat flowering.
🌞 Care Guide
| Need | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright, indirect light is ideal; gentle morning or late afternoon sun intensifies variegation and encourages blooms. |
| Watering | Water when top 2–3 cm of soil dries; avoid overwatering to prevent root rot. |
| Soil | Plant in a chunky, well-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite + coco coir). |
| Humidity | Prefers 50–70% humidity, but adapts to typical indoor air. |
| Temperature | Ideal range: 18–29 °C (65–85 °F); protect from drafts. |
| Bloom Care | Do not remove old peduncles—reblooming occurs from the same stem. |
