Hoya has been a popular house plant for decades and with good reason. They are extremely long-lived, have a classic, deep green, vining foliage, and produce fragrant, light pink, and red star-shaped flowers. Because of their thick waxy, foliage they are often called wax plants or sometimes porcelain flowers referring to the unique texture of the flowers.
These tropical vining plants have a few requirements in order to thrive but nothing too hard. Give them bright, indirect light, humidity, and a light touch when it comes to watering. Use a potting mix that allows for good air circulation around the roots. Read on for the best recipe for success.
