Wax plant is a beloved trailing plant belonging to the Hoya plant family. It’s a classic beauty with fragrant clusters of star-shaped blooms. Wax plant gets its name from its thick, shiny leaves. Perfect for a hanging container, wax plant vines and drapes gracefully. It’s a popular houseplant, and in warmer climates, it can be enjoyed outdoors.
One important element in a wax plant’s native climate is warmth and sunlight. Before you rush out to buy yourself a wax plant, make sure you have an area that will provide the warmth and light it will love. And when you select a wax plant to purchase, make sure it’s nice and healthy to begin with. Inspect its foliage for signs of disease or damage. Peek underneath the leaves, too.
Wax plants are particularly sensitive to any disruption of their root ball. In fact, wax plants prefer their roots to be bound tighter than most plants would find comfortable. Avoid repotting a wax plant for as long as possible. If your plant has reached the age where it should be flowering but it isn’t, or maybe it has flowered in the past but hasn’t, try giving it more light.
