Hoya (Wax Plant)

Hoya Plants & Wax Plants

Explore Hoya, commonly called Wax Plants, known for thick foliage, trailing or climbing growth and distinctive flower clusters on mature plants. The collection can include familiar cultivars as well as less common species and hybrids, with availability changing over time.

Why Collect Hoya?

Foliage variety: leaves can be narrow, round, textured, splash-marked or variegated depending on the species and cultivar.
Trailing and climbing growth: many Hoyas work well on shelves, trellises or hanging displays.
Flowers: mature plants can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers when conditions and plant maturity support blooming.
Different care profiles: Hoya species vary, so use the individual product’s care information rather than treating every Hoya identically.

Hoya Care Basics

Light: many Hoyas grow well in bright indirect light; some can tolerate gentle direct sun. A Grow Light can supplement natural light when needed.
Water: allow appropriate dry-down between waterings. How much depends on species, potting mix, temperature, season and light.
Soil: use an airy, well-draining mix. Browse Potting Soil & Substrates for mixes and amendments.
Support: climbing varieties can be trained on trellises and plant supports.
