Description
Variegated Hoya multiflora, also known as Hoya multiflora ‘Variegata’ or Variegated Shooting Star Hoya, is a unique Hoya known for its upright growth habit, glossy variegated foliage, and beautiful star-shaped blooms. Unlike many trailing Hoyas, this variety grows more like a small shrub, making it a great choice for shelves, plant stands, and bright indoor spaces. Mature plants may produce clusters of white and yellow flowers that resemble shooting stars.
Light Requirements
For best growth, variegation, and blooming, place Variegated Hoya multiflora in bright, indirect light. It can tolerate medium light, but brighter indirect light will help support stronger color, fuller growth, and more frequent flowering. Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun, which can scorch the lighter variegated areas.
Watering
Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry. Hoya multiflora prefers slightly more consistent moisture than many thicker-leaved Hoyas, but it should never sit in standing water. Use a chunky, well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage to help protect the roots.
Temperature & Humidity
This plant prefers warm indoor temperatures and average to higher humidity. Keep it away from cold drafts and temperatures below 60°F. Higher humidity can help support healthy foliage and blooming.
Pet Safety
Hoya multiflora is generally considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. It is still best to keep it out of reach of pets that like to chew on plants.
Best For
Variegated Hoya multiflora is a great choice for plant owners who want a collectible, flowering Hoya with bright variegated foliage, an upright growth habit, and beautiful shooting star-like blooms.
