6in Hoya Australis Lisa
Best low-maintenance choice for plant lovers seeking striking variegated foliage.
The Hoya Australis Lisa is a stunning variegated Hoya variety, known for its beautiful, creamy-white and green patterned leaves. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers its soil to dry out about halfway between waterings, making it relatively easy to care for. It enjoys being root-bound, so frequent repotting isn't necessary. During winter, reduce watering to help the plant rest. While not toxic, it can cause mild stomach upset if ingested by pets. It's treated with organic Neem Oil for pest prevention.

Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near an east-facing window or a few feet back from a south-facing window will help maintain its vibrant variegation without scorching the leaves.
Allow the soil to dry out about halfway down before watering again. During the winter months, you should reduce your watering frequency to allow the plant to enter a natural rest period.
No, Hoya Australis Lisa actually prefers to be slightly root-bound. You can leave it in its 6-inch pot for quite some time, as frequent repotting is not necessary for its health.
While the Hoya Australis Lisa is not considered toxic, it can cause mild stomach upset if ingested. It is best to keep it out of reach of curious cats or dogs.
We treat each plant with organic, cold-pressed Neem Oil as a preventative measure against common houseplant pests. This ensures your plant arrives healthy and free of unwanted insects.
