The Hoya carnosa, commonly known as the Wax Plant or Porcelain Flower, is a classic houseplant prized for its waxy, deep green leathery leaves and stunning star-shaped fragrant flowers. This trailing vine plant features long slender stems that can be trained around a trellis or allowed to cascade naturally from hanging baskets.
The distinctive foliage of Hoya carnosa showcases thick, waxy leaves in deep green, sometimes adorned with silver or creamy white flecks. The leaves have a leathery texture that helps the plant retain moisture, making it remarkably drought-tolerant. Mature plants produce parachute-shaped clusters of star-shaped flowers that emit a sweet fragrance and may produce a sticky nectar-like sap.
This low maintenance houseplant thrives in bright indirect light year-round. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, while insufficient light may prevent flowering. Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings, as Hoya carnosa stores water in its thick leaves and prefers drier conditions over soggy soil. The plant appreciates high humidity and benefits from occasional misting of the foliage.
To create a fuller appearance, wrap the sparsely leaved stems around a bamboo trellis and secure with florist tape or nylon stocking strips. This training method encourages the vines to grow more densely and creates an attractive vertical display. The trailing nature of Hoya carnosa also makes it suitable for hanging planters where the vines can cascade downward.
