Hoya

Hoya, often called wax plant or porcelain flower, is an enchanting genus that combines exotic beauty with surprisingly easy care. With its thick, glossy leaves and clusters of fragrant, star-shaped blooms in shades of white, pink, or cream, Hoya brings a touch of magic and elegance to any space.

They thrive in bright light, ideally with a few hours of gentle morning or evening sun. Plant them in airy, well-draining soil – a mix of orchid bark and regular potting soil works perfectly. Water sparingly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as Hoya stores moisture in its leaves. Most species grow as climbers or trailing plants, and with a bit of support, their vines form graceful, living sculptures.

Hoya is resilient and long-lived, rewarding patient care with clusters of stunning, sweetly scented flowers that bloom especially in the evening – a true collector’s favorite for those who appreciate something both classic and exotic.
