The location of your Hoya carnosa tricolor will greatly affect its substrate requirements. You can use either a professional quality horticultural soil or a special mixture composed of 50% blond peat , 25% horticultural soil and 25% perlite. .
Xaxim, whether in a plate or pot , is also an excellent solution as a growing medium because the root system of Hoyas in general grows very vigorously there.
Hoya carnosa tricolor does not like temperatures that are too low. Do not let them go below 10°C, possibly 0°C but very occasionally. As long as it does not suffer from a lack of water, it will tolerate temperatures high but will grow less well above 30°C.
Like many other Hoyas, Hoya carnosa tricolor appreciates reverse osmosis water or rainwater. Make sure to never have water in the saucer and space out waterings enough so that the surface of the substrate dries out between two waterings. Respect a vegetative rest in winter by spacing out waterings by two weeks depending on the size of your pot.
This Hoya appreciates strong light but without direct sunlight . A partial shade exposure can also be suitable but will see your Hoya carnosa tricolor grow much less quickly.
