New leaves often open in vibrant pink or ruby red before settling into their variegated pattern, so a single plant can showcase several stages of color at once. Native to eastern Australia, it grows as a climbing vine, with stems that lengthen and reach for something to hold.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is set in kokedama form, a centuries-old Japanese technique of binding a plant's roots into a hand-formed ball of soil and moss, with no pot required. The young stems rise upright at first, then trail and climb with age. In bright conditions, a mature wax plant can send out clusters of fragrant, star-shaped white flowers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBright Light, Measured Water\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGive this Hoya bright, indirect light. An east-facing window is ideal, with a few hours of gentle morning sun and shelter from harsh midday and late-afternoon rays that can scorch the leaves. Steady, high light keeps the variegation defined and, on a mature plant, encourages blooming. Hoyas tend to flower only once they are a few years old and slightly root-bound, so there's no need to move it to a larger home often.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLet the moss ball dry about halfway between waterings; usually, once a week is enough. Soak it for 10 to 15 minutes, squeeze out the excess, and return it to the tray; ease off through the winter. The leaves store water and pucker slightly when thirsty, while yellow, soft leaves are a sign of too much.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eEach kokedama includes your choice of a \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Basic white patina planter\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.com\/products\/tray-for-basic-planter-white-patina\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003ewhite\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e or \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" title=\"Basic grey patina planter\" href=\"https:\/\/bloomist.com\/products\/tray-for-basic-planter-grey-patina\" style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003egray patina tray\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs It Grows\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe newest leaves carry the strongest pink and ruby tones before settling into cream, lime, and green.
