Variegated Hoya (Wax Plant) Identification and Care

Plant Identification

Your mystery plant is a variegated Hoya, commonly called wax plant. The pink/white leaf margins and thick, succulent-like leaves are characteristic.

Outdoor Planting? Probably Not

Unless you live where winter temperatures never drop below 45°F (7°C), keep it potted. It can summer outdoors in a container but must come inside before cool nights.

Indoor Care Essentials

• Light: Bright with some direct sun (east/west window ideal)
• Water: Allow top 1-2 inches to dry between waterings
• Drainage: Essential—pot must have holes, empty saucer after watering
• Soil: Well-draining mix (cactus/succulent blend works well)
