Hoya Carnosa

Plant Scientific Name: Hoya carnosa
Plant Common Name: Hoya carnosa / Wax Plant
Plant Description: Hoya carnosa is a classic trailing houseplant loved for its thick, waxy green leaves and long cascading vines. With maturity and proper care, it produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that secrete sweet nectar. Its hardy nature and attractive foliage make it a long-lived and rewarding indoor plant, ideal for shelves, hanging baskets, or trellises.
Water: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Water thoroughly and ensure excess water drains away. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Temperature & Humidity: Prefers temperatures between 18–30°C. Enjoys moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average household humidity. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10–12°C.
Pet Safety: Non-toxic to pets. Safe for cats and dogs.
Pro Tip: Bright indirect light encourages flowering. Avoid cutting old flower spurs, as Hoyas rebloom from the same spurs year after year.
