Hoya Obovata Variegata, commonly known as Variegated Wax Plant, is a stunning and popular houseplant due to its beautiful foliage. This tropical plant features thick, succulent-like leaves that are glossy and variegated with shades of green, cream, and sometimes pink. The variegation pattern can vary, but it often appears as splashes or marbling on the leaves, adding a touch of elegance to any indoor space.

Light Requirements:
Hoya Obovata Variegata thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window that receives filtered sunlight or in a well-lit room. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. Insufficient light can result in leggy growth and reduced variegation.

Temperature and Humidity:
This plant prefers temperatures between 60-80¬?F (15-27¬?C), making it suitable for most indoor environments. It appreciates average to high humidity levels, so misting its leaves occasionally or placing a humidifier nearby can be beneficial, especially during the dry winter months when indoor humidity tends to drop.

Watering:
Hoya Obovata Variegata has moderate water requirements. Water the plant when the top inch of the soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has proper drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Overwatering can be more detrimental than under-watering, so it's best to err on the side of caution and let the soil dry out a bit between waterings.

Soil:
A well-draining soil mix is essential for this plant's health. A combination of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark makes an ideal potting mix. It allows excess water to drain freely while retaining enough moisture for the roots.

Fertilizer:
During the growing season (spring and summer), feed Hoya Obovata Variegata with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every two weeks. Dilute the fertilizer to half the recommended strength. In the dormant season (fall and winter), reduce fertilizer applications to once a month or suspend feeding altogether.

Pruning and Training:
Regular pruning helps maintain the plant's shape and encourages bushier growth. Prune any leggy or unruly stems to promote a more compact appearance. Hoya Obovata Variegata is a vining plant, so you can also train it to climb by providing a trellis or support structure for it to cling to.

Propagation:
Hoya Obovata Variegata can be propagated through stem cuttings. Take a 4-6 inch cutting with at least two nodes and remove the lower leaves. Dip the cut end in rooting hormone and place it in a well-draining potting mix. Keep the soil slightly moist until roots form, which usually takes several weeks. Once rooted, treat the cutting as a mature plant.

Pests and Diseases:
This plant is generally resistant to pests, but occasionally it may attract common houseplant pests like mealybugs or spider mites. Regularly inspect the leaves and stems for signs of infestation. If detected, treat the affected areas with an appropriate organic or chemical insecticide, following the manufacturer's instructions.

In summary, Hoya Obovata Variegata is a low-maintenance houseplant that adds a touch of beauty and elegance to any indoor space. With proper lighting, watering, and occasional fertilization, this plant will thrive and bring joy to its owner for many years to come.
