The fleshy leaves unfurl maroon, and big rounded heads of pink, star shaped, waxy flowers appear along the stems. It is rich in nectar, and in cooler states it makes a fine plant for the house or a conservatory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy you'll love it\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWaxy pink flower clusters.\u003c\/strong\u003e Round heads of starry, waxy pink flowers hang from the branches, and they are sweetly scented, most noticeably in the evening.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eColourful new growth.\u003c\/strong\u003e The fleshy leaves emerge maroon and mature to glossy dark green, so even the foliage changes through the season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePet friendly.\u003c\/strong\u003e Hoya carnosa is regarded as non-toxic to cats and dogs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIndoors or out.\u003c\/strong\u003e In cooler states it lives happily inside or in a conservatory, and in subtropical gardens it can hang or climb outdoors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eA slim footprint.\u003c\/strong\u003e At only 20cm wide it takes almost no floor space for the length it reaches.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhere it works best\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHanging baskets and pots.\u003c\/strong\u003e Plant one to a basket in a free draining mix and let the stems trail.

It is a plant for frost free locations: outdoors in subtropical gardens, and inside in cooler states. In far north Queensland the warm winters can mean fewer flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil.\u003c\/strong\u003e Use an open, free draining mix such as orchid bark blended with compost.

It can arrive as a plug, a little smaller than our usual tube, though the root system is healthy and it can go straight into the ground or a bigger pot. Expect a small, steady starter that needs a season or two of growth before it flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOur grower supplies the tube stock, and supply is not always steady. When the grower has none, the tube shows as sold out, and the notify button on the page emails you the day it is back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePlants are delivered Australia wide, with delivery from $29.95. Every plant is covered by our 30 day healthy plant guarantee.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003ePlant care guides and related reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-plants\"\u003eIndoor plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/blogs\/blog\/indoor-exotic-plants-guide\"\u003eIndoor exotic plants guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/pet-friendly-indoor-plants\"\u003ePet friendly indoor plants\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/climbers\"\u003eClimbing plants for trellises\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy is my hoya not flowering?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUsually it is too young or has too little light.
