Botanical Name: Hoya Australis

Common Names: Honey plant, Wax plant, Hoya

Description: Hoya Australis was first collected in the 1700s in Australia. In the wild, it grows on rocky areas along the treelines of rainforests and its fragrant flowers attract many pollinators. It is popular for its ease of care.

Care: This succulent-like plant has thick, waxy leaves that make it low maintenance. Use a well-draining aroid potting mix and wait until the top two inches of soil are dry before watering. Give this plant plenty of bright indirect light but avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent scorching the leaves. Use a plant food diluted to half the listed strength.
