Hoya Wayetii Variegated

The Variegated Hoya Wayetii is a trailing wax plant with thick, boat-shaped leaves edged in creamy variegation. In bright light the leaf edges blush deep red or maroon, giving it a two-tone glow. It is easy, forgiving, and made for hanging baskets or high shelves.

Like most hoyas, it stores water in its thick leaves, so it handles the occasional missed watering without complaint. Give it bright light and it may reward you with clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers.
