    •   Hoya Carnosa (Hoya carnosa) is a beloved trailing houseplant native to East Asia and Australia, where it grows as a climbing vine through tropical and subtropical forests. Known as the wax plant or porcelain flower, this easy care houseplant has won hearts worldwide for its gorgeous foliage, low-maintenance nature, and air purifying qualities.

        Hoya Carnosa features thick, waxy, deep green leaves that give the wax plant its iconic name. The leaves are oval to elliptical, typically 2-4 inches long, and occasionally speckled with silvery flecks depending on the variety. As a trailing houseplant, Hoya Carnosa produces long, flexible vines that cascade beautifully from a hanging hook or high shelf.

        Hoya Carnosa produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers in soft pink and white tones, each with a glistening, porcelain-like appearance that inspired the nickname porcelain flower. Blooms carry a sweet, honey-like fragrance and typically appear in spring through summer, often returning year after year on the same spurs. To encourage blooming, Hoya Carnosa benefits from a slight drop in nighttime temperatures, which signals the plant to set flower buds.

        Hoya Carnosa is a genuinely pet friendly plant, making it a worry-free choice for households with cats and dogs, though the sap can cause mild skin or paw irritation so keeping it on a high shelf is a smart move. As an air purifying plant, Hoya Carnosa filters formaldehyde and other indoor toxins while releasing oxygen at night, making it a wonderful companion in bedrooms and living spaces. This drought tolerant vine survives up to 10 days without watering, thrives near kitchen humidity, and can move outdoors for summer. Sensitive to being relocated frequently, Hoya Carnosa prefers a stable spot but rewards the patient gardener with years of lush, vining growth and repeated blooms.

    •   Hoya Carnosa thrives in bright indirect light, ideally near an east or west-facing window away from harsh direct rays.

        Water Hoya Carnosa every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter, allowing soil to dry between waterings.

        Hoya Carnosa prefers a well-draining mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark to prevent root rot.

        Hoya Carnosa grows best between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and should be kept away from AC vents and heater drafts.

        Hoya Carnosa is a moderate grower that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during the active spring and summer season.

        Hoya Carnosa is hardy in USDA Zones 9-11, tolerating temperatures down to around 40°F (4°C) before cold becomes damaging. Outdoors year-round growing suits gardeners in Florida, California, Texas, Arizona, Hawaii, Louisiana, Georgia, South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, and Nevada. Coastal areas of Oregon and Washington may also support Hoya Carnosa in sheltered microclimates within the warmer edges of Zone 9.

    • Q: Is Hoya Carnosa pet friendly?
      A: Yes, Hoya Carnosa is a pet friendly plant and is non-toxic to cats and dogs. However, the milky sap can cause mild skin or paw irritation, so placing it out of reach is still a good idea.

      Q: How often should I water Hoya Carnosa?
      A: Water Hoya Carnosa every 10-14 days in warmer months, letting the soil dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce watering to once every 3-4 weeks.

      Q: How do I get Hoya Carnosa to bloom?
      A: Hoya Carnosa needs a slight drop in nighttime temperatures to trigger blooming, so placing it in a cooler room at night in late winter helps. Avoid moving it once buds form, as Hoya Carnosa is sensitive to being relocated.

      Q: How do I propagate Hoya Carnosa?
      A: Propagate Hoya Carnosa by taking 3-4 inch stem cuttings with at least one node and rooting them in water or moist perlite. Roots typically develop within 4-6 weeks in warm, bright conditions.

      Q: Does Hoya Carnosa purify indoor air?
      A: Yes, Hoya Carnosa is an air purifying plant that filters formaldehyde and other household toxins. It also releases oxygen at night, making it an especially great choice for bedrooms.

      Q: Can Hoya Carnosa grow in an office with artificial light?
      A: Hoya Carnosa can adapt to growing under office LED lighting as long as the light is bright enough and stays on for 10-12 hours daily. Growth may be slower than in natural light, but the plant remains healthy and attractive.

      🌿 For Houseplants
      When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
      Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
      Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
      *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
