Hoya Carnosa
Hoya carnosa is known as the classic wax plant. This houseplant has dark green, large, almond-shaped leaves that grow on long vines. If you grow this plant in its ideal living conditions, you may even see it blossom creamy-white flower clusters as it matures. This Hoya is perfect as a hanging basket plant or placed on the edge of a shelf to cascade down as it grows.
Grow your Hoya carnosa in medium to bright, indirect light, and water infrequently. When you see the plant’s leaves pucker slightly, that is the time to water. Avoid giving this plant direct sunlight, artificial light, and dark corners of your home. Too much light will burn your plant’s leaves, but too little light will not allow them to fully mature and blossom flowers.Â
