Summary
The Wax Red Plant is a sultry showstopper with deep green foliage with subtle undertones of burgundy, wine red, or even near-black, especially when grown in bright light. Its waxy, vining leaves add rich textures and makes it feel like a true collector's gem. This Hoya is just as easy-going as it is eye-catching. Let it trail elegantly from a hanging pot or climb up a support – either way, it’s a standout. It thrives in bright, indirect light, needs minimal watering, and rewards care with beautiful star-shaped blooms. Please note, decorative pots are sold separately.
