How to Care for Your Hoya Kentiana 'Lori Lyn'

Plant Overview: A dazzling, colorful collector's wax plant loved for its slender, tricolor foliage and charmingly sweet-scented purple blooms.

• Light: Thrives in bright, filtered indirect sunlight. High light levels are crucial to maintain its striking cream margins and to bring out the beautiful pink sun-stress coloration on the new leaves.
• Water: Water thoroughly only when the chunky potting mix is 100% dry. The narrow, succulent-like leaves hold water efficiently, making it highly drought-tolerant and sensitive to overwatering.
• Humidity: Performs beautifully in moderate to high humidity (50–70%), though it adapts reliably to average indoor household conditions.
• Temperature: Enjoys warm temperatures between 18–28°C. Ensure it is protected from cold drafts, winter frost, and air conditioners.

FAQ

Q1: How do I keep the pink and cream colors bright on my Hoya Lori Lyn?

A1: Light is everything! Give your plant plenty of very bright, indirect sunlight. The vibrant pink tones are a form of natural "sun-stressing" that only occurs when the plant receives adequate light energy.

Q2: What is the difference between Hoya Kentiana and Hoya Wayetii variegata?

A2: While extremely similar in care and appearance, Hoya kentiana generally features slightly longer, narrower, and more needle-like foliage compared to the slightly wider, thicker leaves of Hoya wayetii.

Q3: What should I do if my Hoya Lori Lyn starts producing completely green leaves?

A3: If new growth lacks the signature cream borders, your plant is likely not getting enough light. Move it to a brighter spot with strong, indirect sun to encourage the colorful variegation. You can also snip the solid green vine back to the last variegated leaf to prompt tricolor new growth.
