Hoya Wayetii Variegated 4" Pot

Hoya Wayetii Variegata

If you're looking for an exotic indoor plant that's very easy to grow, take a look at hoya (also sometimes called wax plant). This unique houseplant is a vine (but don't worry; it's not a fast-growing one!) that has thick, waxy leaves and clusters of star-shaped waxy flowers. It's among the most tolerant of all houseplants.

Lighting: Grow your easy-care hoya in low, medium, or bright light. It tolerates low and medium light, but doesn't typically bloom in these conditions. Like most flowering houseplants, the more light hoya gets, the more flowers it will produce.

Watering: Water hoya when the potting mix dries out. Don't worry if you forget to water it once or twice -- this houseplant doesn't mind. It thick leaves and stems help the plant store water for cases just like that. Do take care not to overwater it; hoya would rather be too dry than too wet and can suffer from root rot if the potting mix stays wet for extended periods.
