Eye-Catching Foliage and Scented Flowers
Hoya australis 'Lisa' is a variegated form of the Australian native wax vine, prized for its striking multicoloured foliage and sweetly perfumed flowers. It thrives as a trailing or climbing plant and is particularly popular for indoor displays thanks to its ornamental leaves and ease of care.
Distinctive Features
- Foliage: Broad, leathery leaves show off splashes of creamy yellow, light green, and pinkish hues when exposed to bright light.
- Flowers: Umbels of star-shaped, white flowers with a pink-red centre produce a heady fragrance, usually in warmer months.
- Growth habit: Vigorous trailing or twining growth, easily trained on supports or allowed to cascade from hanging baskets.
Care Tips
- Light: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain variegation; will tolerate some direct morning sun.
- Water: Water moderately in active growth; allow the potting mix to dry out slightly between waterings.
- Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but is adaptable to standard indoor conditions.
- Media: Use a free-draining epiphytic mix – orchid bark, perlite, and peat-based substrates are ideal.
- Temperature: Best grown between 15–30 °C; protect from frost and cold draughts.
- Fertiliser: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertiliser diluted to half strength.
- Repotting: Repot every 2–3 years or when rootbound; avoid over-potting to encourage blooming.
Additional Notes
- New leaves may flush pink in strong light before fading to their mature variegated pattern.
- Encourages flowering when slightly rootbound and receiving sufficient light.
