Hoya Australis & Lisa – Carla’s Hoya Haven

I purchased two small H. australis ‘Lisa’ plants from Hirt’s Gardens in late March 2022. Each 2″ pot had two small vines. Two vines from one pot keep pushing out the variegated ‘Lisa’ leaves. The two vines in the other pot reverted back to australis with no variegation. I do see some effort to push out new leaves with a hint of variegation. Maybe some sun will help. This plant prefers a lot of light and I moved it to a west facing window with sheer curtains.

With or without variegation Hoya australis is a beautiful plant with thick glossy leaves. I have these 4 vines in a 7″ pot with a chunky mix of ABG Mix and coconut husk. This one gets watered every 1-2 weeks when the potting mix is dry.

I have this trellised up on 24″ bamboo hoops. I’m anticipating some vigorous growth this year.
