Hoya carnosa, commonly known as the wax plant or porcelain flower, is a popular houseplant native to Southeast Asia. It features thick, waxy leaves and produces clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers that can bloom in various colors, including white and pink. This plant thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers well-draining soil. Hoya carnosa is a low-maintenance plant, making it ideal for beginners. It requires infrequent watering, allowing the soil to dry out between sessions. Additionally, it can tolerate a range of humidity levels, although it flourishes in higher humidity environments, which can enhance its flowering potential.
