- **Leaf Color:** One of the distinctive features of Hoya australis 'Lisa' is its foliage. The leaves are typically variegated with shades of green and creamy yellow. The variegation can be in the form of speckles or marbled patterns on the leaves.
- **Leaf Shape:** The leaves of Hoya australis, including the 'Lisa' cultivar, are generally thick and succulent. They are often oval or elliptical in shape and can have a glossy texture.

- **Temperature and Humidity:** Hoya plants generally prefer warm temperatures and higher humidity levels. They can adapt to average room conditions, but they benefit from occasional misting or placement in a humid environment.
