Hoya Carnosa - Wax Plant

We really love this wonderfully coloured hanging houseplant, Hoya Carnosa, or wax plant is a beautiful small hanging houseplant with long graceful stems covered in waxy leaves.  It is a type of vine, growing to 1m long if kept in the right conditions.

We are selling the Hoya Carnosa as an unusual hanging plant that is ideal to fill corners. growing well in small pots and trailing along thin wire they appear to hang in the air so ideal for small spaces or awkward spots or simply for the plant lover that wants to cram in that one final plant!

Bright light will encourage flowers, were selling nice large and mature Hoya plants and depending on the time of year they may come with or without flowers but don't worry they will flower regularly once settled. Why do you want to buy large Hoya? Well, they take up to seven years to mature and begin flowering properly and we think life is too short to wait that long!

It really is a style plant and one that would make one of those amazing house plant gifts that will never be forgotten! Why buy flowers when you can buy a house plant that will last many times longer!

Ideal as a houseplant gift - an unusually delightful surprise for someone! We’ll add a free, handwritten card to your delivery if you buy this houseplant as a gift - you just need to include your gift message at the basket stage of the checkout and we’ll make sure it’s beautifully written for your recipient. No paperwork included!
