Hoya Carnosa climbs trees and clambers over rocks in the wild and keeps on growing continuously. If your grandmother had a vining houseplant creeping up to her kitchen, it must be the Carnosa, as they have been around for ages! So, if you too want to see it climbing happily in the home, then here’s all you need to know about Hoya Carnosa Care Indoors.
Common Names: Wax Plant, Honey Plant, Porcelain Flower
Flowers of Hoya Carnosa
Hoya Carnosa grows star-shaped flowers in contrasting hues of red and white. You have to keep the plant in a bright spot to make it bloom profusely. Also, refrain from snipping away the spurs after the flowers fade away because they will flare from the same triggers again.
The plant grows best from cuttings. Simply take 6-7 inches of cutting from a healthy plant with at least 2 nodes. Put it in a vase filled with water and place it where it can get bright, indirect light. Change the water every 3-4 days. Once you spot the roots emerging, transfer it into a pot filled with a quality potting mix.
The Carnosas will grow the best if placed in a bright, airy space away from any exposure to direct sunlight. An east-facing window would be a great choice because it will receive ample light but not the intense afternoon sun.
The Hoyas do best in well-draining soil. You can make your own medium by mixing equal parts of perlite, cactus, and orchid mix. Make sure the pot has drainage holes at the bottom to save the soil from becoming soggy.
Do not worry too much about water as being succulent, the plant will store enough in its stems and leaves. The best practice to follow is to keep an eye on the pot, and if you see the topsoil going a bit dry, water it till it seeps from the drainage holes.
