Meet Hoya

Hoya vines are wood-like and hoya leaves are waxy. Native to tropical Asia, these houseplants do well in warm weather.

Light

Hoya plants do best and bloom more often in very bright light. They are one of the few indoor plants that can handle direct sun. Although hoya plants can adapt to lower light, they will grow slower and not produce their fragrant waxy flowers that are so beautiful.

Water

Hoyas are succulent plants so allow the soil to dry out quite a bit before watering. These plants do thrive on neglect but need additional water when in bloom.

   Common Problems Q&A

 Why is my plant experiencing leaf-drop & blackening of leaves?

This is likely due to poor water drainage or temperatures that are too cool for your plant. 

Why are my leaves wrinkling?

This is generally a sign that your plant is lacking water. If you notice wrinkling simply water your plant and maintain a consistent watering schedule.

Why are my leaves lacking color?

This is likely due to insufficient light. In order to produce bright colored leaves and flowers Hoya plants need bright light. Try placing your Hoya in an area where it will receive bright light.

  • Botanical Name: Hoya carnosa
  • Common Name(s): Porcelain Flower, Wax Plant, Honey Plant
  • Description: Porcelain flower or wax plant is a commonly grown houseplant. It has long slender vines covered with waxy, deep green leathery leaves sometimes flecked with silver or creamy white. To make this plant appear denser, wrap its sparsely leaved stems around a bamboo trellis and secure with florist tape or nylon stocking strips. Bright indirect light year-round is ideal. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Wax plants love high humidity and the foliage appreciates misting. The flowers are star-shaped, in parachute-shaped clusters, with a sweet fragrance and may produce a sticky sap.
