It has long slender vines covered with waxy, deep green leathery leaves sometimes flecked with silver or creamy white. To make this plant appear denser, wrap its sparsely leaved stems around a bamboo trellis and secure with florist tape or nylon stocking strips. Bright indirect light year-round is ideal. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Wax plants love high humidity and the foliage appreciates misting. The flowers are star-shaped, in parachute-shaped clusters, with a sweet fragrance and may produce a sticky sap.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*Limit 2 Per Customer*\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-trust-badges --\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"pf-trust-badges\" style=\"margin:0.85rem 0 0;font-size:0.95rem;color:#1c6e3e\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e✓ Carefully packed live plant  ·  ✓ Ships across the United States  ·  ✓ 48-hour live-arrival guarantee\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color:#4b5563;font-size:0.88rem\"\u003eNatural variation expected with live plants\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- \/pf-trust-badges --\u003e\n\u003c!-- pf-snapshot --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"pf-snapshot\" style=\"margin-top:1.5rem\"\u003e\n  \u003ch3\u003eBotanical Label\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cul\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCommon name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoya Carnosa\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cem\u003eHoya Carnosa\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePot size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4\" or 6\" nursery pot (choose at checkout)\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bright, indirect (more light = more likely to bloom); no harsh midday sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e when the soil has dried out — Hoyas like to dry between waterings.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDifficulty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Beginner-friendly — easy as long as you don't overwater.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth style:\u003c\/strong\u003e Trailing \/ climbing vine (epiphyte).\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vines can trail several feet over time — can vary by growing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLifespan:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can live for many years with regular care — varies by growing conditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n    \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet safety:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pet-friendly — considered non-toxic to cats and dogs (ASPCA).
