Botanical Name: Hoya Publicalyx

Common Names: Wax plant

Description: Hoya publicalyx is a vigorous vining plant with deep green leaves that climbs up a trellis or cascades over the sides of a pot. Its leaves are often mottled with flecks of silvery variegation. With bright light, the stems can take on shades of purple.

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.
