Hoyas
Hoyas — also known as wax plants — are among the most collectible houseplants you can grow, and they reward a little patience with clusters of star-shaped, often fragrant blooms. Their thick, waxy leaves store water, so hoyas are surprisingly forgiving: they would rather be a touch too dry than too wet, which makes them a great low-maintenance choice for shelves, windowsills, and hanging baskets.

This collection ranges from easygoing classics like Hoya carnosa and the beloved Rope Hoya to splashy variegated and compact varieties prized by collectors. Most hoyas thrive in bright, indirect light — the brighter the light (without harsh midday sun), the more likely they are to flower — and prefer to dry out between waterings. Give an established plant something to climb or let it trail, and don't rush to repot; hoyas tend to bloom best when slightly root-bound.
Each plant is shipped fresh from Florida with our 48-hour live-arrival guarantee. Love the trailing look? Pair your hoyas with fast-growing Pothos and other trailing & hanging plants, or explore our rare & exotic selection for more collector finds.
Frequently asked questions
Are Hoyas easy to care for? Yes. Their thick, waxy leaves store water, so they tolerate the occasional missed watering. Let the soil dry between waterings and give them bright, indirect light.
Why won't my Hoya bloom? Hoyas bloom on mature plants in bright light. Never cut off the old flower spurs — new blooms form from the same spur year after year.
Are Hoyas safe for pets? Hoya carnosa is listed as non-toxic to cats and dogs by the ASPCA, which makes it a popular pet-friendly trailing plant. As always, discourage pets from chewing any houseplant.
How are your Hoyas shipped? Grown in Florida and shipped from Florida and California within the continental US, carefully packed and backed by our 48-hour live-arrival guarantee.
