Hoya latifolia
Hindu rope - Wax plant
Description
Hoya latifolia, also known as the wax plant or porcelain flower, is an epiphytic vine native to Southeast Asia, admired for its attractive foliage and fragrant flowers. It features large, round, leathery leaves that are often adorned with striking veins and patterns. The plant produces clusters of star-shaped flowers in shades of pink, white, or red, with a waxy texture, hence the name. These flowers exude a sweet fragrance, especially at night, and attract pollinators. Hoya latifolia prefers bright, indirect light and well-draining soil. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot. It thrives in a humid environment and is suitable for hanging baskets or climbing structures.
