Wax Plant

Botanical Name: Hoya carnosa


Long, slender vines of the Wax Plant are covered with thick, green leathery leaves.

Given enough light, Wax Plant will produce parachute clusters of star-shaped, white to pink flowers with five-point centers. Those flowers are so intricately detailed, uniformly shaped and shiny, they're sometimes called Porcelain Flower. You can expect Hoyas to bloom in the spring, summer or fall, depending on the variety.

Sticky flowers? Hoya flowers are sweetly scented and may form drops of sticky nectar. This is normal.

Dropped flower buds are often caused by soil that is too dry or too wet. Also, do not move the plant when buds are forming because changes in light may cause them to drop. Raising the humidity can help.

Repot in early spring every 2-3 years or when it outgrows its pot. Wax Plant blooms best when almost pot -bound, so move it to a slightly larger pot (about 2 inches (5 cm) larger than the old one). Never repot a plant when it's in bloom because it may drop its flower buds.

Hoya carnosa is a fast grower.
Questions & Comments
Original
Winter care. Hoyas do not go dormant in the winter, but growth slows down with lower light levels. One of the few problems with Hoya plant care is overwatering. Allow soil to dry out a bit between waterings in winter and stop fertilizing until spring.

This is a long-lived plant and easy to grow with little attention.

Growing Wax Plant Indoors

Origin: India and East Asia

Height: Trailing stems can grow t
o 10 ft (3 m)

Light: Bright indirect light year-round.

Water: Water thoroughly spring through fall, allowing potting mix to dry out a bit between waterings. Flowering Hoya plants are thirsty, but don't like to sit in soggy soil. Be sure to use a pot with drainage holes and empty the drainage tray. Use room-temperature water for your tropical plants. Cold water can shock them. In winter, water sparingly giving the plant just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.
