Hoyas, or Wax Plants, like to vine and climb even as houseplants so make sure you have somewhere for them to climb on! The 'Lisa' variety stands out from other Hoyas thanks to its stunning colouring; the thick, waxy leaves morph from deep green on the edges to creamy paler green and yellow in the centre. As with any variegation, this will need a little more light than other Hoyas to maintain its colours; the Hoya Lisa will thrive especially with a splash of morning sun. Pick the right spot and take care not to over-water and the Hoya Lisa will reward you with vibrant, standout foliage- and if it's really happy and healthy, with clusters of white, star-shaped flowers with a scent like sweet vanilla and chocolate!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLight\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThrives in bright, indirect light, and will benefit from a splash of morning or evening sun. Make sure it gets 1-2 hours of direct sunlight in autumn and winter, throughout its dormant period.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWater\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eAllow the top third of the soil to dry out between waters, and reduce watering in winter and in dimmer spots. Make sure you don't leave any water sitting in the foliage (or flowers) as this can cause damage.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHumidity\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eUsed to a rainforest environment, this plant likes it humid; introduce a humidity tray if possible, and hose down the leaves regularly to keep them free of dust.
