This tropical indoor plant \u2014 often called a \u201cWax plant\u201d due to its thick waxy leaves \u2014 is a classic because it lives forever, grows to be enormous, and creates beautiful, porcelain-like fragrant flower clusters (it\u2019s also often called \u201cPorcelain flower\u201d). Hoya carnosa has historically been the most widely cultivated Hoya in the Western world. The plant has been hybridized with other species and cultivated for genetic mutations of the leaves and blooms to give us new plants with new names. Soil Choice: Hoyas can be grown in an airy, well-draining mix and need water more frequently, or they can be potted with a more traditional houseplant or succulent soil blend with less frequent waterings. Although chunkier mixes require more attentive care, plants grow faster and stronger with airy soil blends. Common Hoya soil blends amend succulent soil with perlite and orchid bark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":16841,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"product_cat":[72],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-16868","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-natural-indoor-plants","8":"first","9":"instock","10":"shipping-taxable","11":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
