The Wax Plant

Hoya Carnosa

Enjoyed for the easy care needs and waxy leaves that grow on long vines, the Wax Plant, Hoya Carnosa - the original variety or our variegated variety, Hoya Carnosa "Tricolor" - are available in a 15cm nursery pot or a 16cm plastic hanging basket (terracotta pot not included).

The jungle vibe of this tropical houseplant and gorgeous greenery has made a popular collectors indoor plant as of recent years, with many plant parents seeking out the various different varieties to add to their collection. As a very easy to care for indoor plant, trailing Wax Plants add a lush element to your home or office with ease and grace...

How The Wax Plant Makes You Happy:

  • With simple care needs, the Wax Plant is an exceptional choice for newbie plant parents and to help you build your confidence with indoor plants.
  • As it matures with the right care, it will delight you with long vines of slender thick waxy leaves.
  • It purifies the air around it creating a healthier and happier environment for you.
  • With exceptional care, the Wax Plant can put out creamy white and pink flowers. This will surely delight the successful indoor plant parent!

Where The Wax Plant is Happiest:

  • Hailing from a tropical environment, the Wax Plant can be grown in moderate to bright light, avoiding direct sunlight.
  • The variegated variety will be happiest and will show off its amazing colours best in bright indirect light.
  • Normal room humidity is sufficient.

Watering The Wax Plant:

  • Water well about once a week, pouring until the water drains right down into the pot and out of the drainage holes at the bottom.
  • Allow the soil to dry out before watering again.
  • The Wax Plant enjoys a very well draining soil.

Feeding The Wax Plant:

Care Tips:

  • The Wax Plant has a natural vining tendency, and will need space to grow as it matures. This plant pairs exceptionally well with a macrame or hanging basket.
  • The Wax Plant can put out creamy white and pink flowers. These plants bloom best when root bound, so only repot every 2-3 years when the roots have grown out of the drainage holes at the bottom of the pot.
  • You can prune your Wax Plant in Spring if you would prefer to keep it compact.
