This mixed selection of Hoya carnosa, commonly known as the Wax Plant, offers a variety of attractive foliage forms and variegation patterns. Depending on the variety supplied, leaves may be solid green or beautifully marked with cream, silver or yellow variegation, while all share the same elegant trailing or climbing habit.
Well-established plants can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers with a sweet fragrance, adding another layer of interest. Slow growing and easy to care for, Hoyas are excellent long-lived houseplants that thrive in bright indoor spaces.

Growing Guide
Indoor Placement
Place in bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning or late afternoon sun is beneficial, but avoid prolonged strong midday sunshine. Hoyas appreciate a consistent position and should not be moved unnecessarily when in bud.
Watering
Allow the compost to dry slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess water to drain away. Reduce watering during the winter months.
Humidity
Average household humidity is suitable, although higher humidity encourages healthy growth and flowering. Bright bathrooms or kitchens with natural light are excellent locations.
Feeding
Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid houseplant fertiliser to encourage healthy foliage and flowering.

Good to Know
This is a mixed selection of Hoya carnosa varieties. Leaf shape, foliage colour, variegation and flower colour may vary depending on the plant supplied. Hoyas often flower more reliably once they become well established, and the flower spurs should be left in place after blooming as they can flower again in future seasons.
