Hoya (Wax Plant): Indestructible Trailing Bloomer for Sunny Windows

Hoya carnosa: 200+ Species of Waxy-Leaved, Star-Flowered Vines

With over 200 species, hoyas are nearly indestructible trailing vines with thick, waxy leaves and interlocking stems. All produce fragrant, five-pointed, star-shaped flowers in red, white, pink, purple, yellow, orange, or near-black. Perfect hanging in a bright window; just don’t overwater.

Simple Rules

Bright indirect to some direct sun; let soil dry completely between waterings. Bloom best when slightly root-bound. Avoid moving once buds form. Propagate from cuttings.
