Overview: Native to Eastern Asia and Australia, the Hoya carnosa is a charming, trailing or climbing houseplant with thick, waxy, oval leaves and clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers. Perfect for hanging baskets or trellises in South African homes, it thrives in bright, indirect light, adding a romantic, tropical touch.
Quirky Fact: Its sweet-scented blooms drip nectar, like tiny floral candies throwing a garden party!
Care for Damaged Leaves: Trim damaged or yellow leaves with clean scissors to promote new growth. With moderate watering, well-draining soil, and proper light, recovery typically takes 24 weeks.
Safety Note: Non-toxic to pets and humans, making it a safe, family-friendly choice for plant lovers.
Availability: Available in 1215cm pots at nurseries like Plantify.co.za or Botanicalheaven.co.za, with couriered delivery options.
