Hoya Carnosa

Botanical Name: Hoya carnosa
Common Name(s): Porcelain Flower, Wax Plant, Honey Plant

Bring a touch of tropical elegance into any home with the stunning porcelain flower, also known as the wax plant! This popular houseplant features long, graceful vines adorned with glossy, deep green, leathery leaves that sometimes boast charming silver or creamy white speckles. For a fuller, more lush appearance, simply wrap the plant’s stems around a bamboo trellis and secure them with florist tape or nylon stocking strips—it’s a delightful way to enhance its beauty!

Thriving in bright, indirect light all year long, this beauty loves a little attention when it comes to watering—just let the soil dry out between waterings for the best results. Wax plants adore high humidity, so don’t forget to mist the foliage occasionally to keep it happy and healthy.

Get ready to be enchanted by the porcelain flower’s star-shaped blooms, which appear in beautiful, parachute-like clusters. Their sweet fragrance will fill the air, adding an extra layer of charm to your space. Be aware that the flowers may produce a sticky sap, adding to the unique character of this fabulous plant!
