Notes
Wax plant (Hoya macrophylla) is a houseplant for containers and low maintenance spots. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It is evergreen, so it keeps its leaves all year. It can reach about 4 to 6 feet tall.
Pairs well with N'Joy pothos, Weeping fig, and Giant granadilla.
