Hoya carnosa, also known as the wax plant, is a classic houseplant that’s both beginner-friendly and pet-safe. It has thick, glossy leaves that store water, so it doesn’t need constant attention. When it's happy, it produces clusters of star-shaped, sweet-smelling flowers that almost look fake — hence the nickname “wax plant.” It grows best in bright, indirect light and prefers to dry out a bit between waterings. It can trail or climb, making it super versatile for shelves, hanging baskets, or trellises.
One of the best things about Hoya carnosa is that it’s non-toxic to cats and dogs, so it’s a great pick if you’ve got pets roaming around. Just be sure to use a well-draining mix and don’t overwater — less is more with Hoyas. They’re slow growers at first but live a long time and can get quite large with a bit of patience. Definitely a solid, low-hassle option if you're after something safe and striking.
My first order with this company couldn't be any better.
Super fast next day delivery, safe and recyclable packaging, very good prices (both plants and postage) and a personal email from management was a nice touch. Thank you all, keep up an amazing work
