Flat leaf Silver Hoya Carnosa (Gallon)

Hoya carnosa ‘Flat Leaf Silver’ — Wax Plant

Description:
Hoya carnosa ‘Flat Leaf Silver’ is an exquisite tropical vine cherished for its trailing vines and thick, silver-flecked leaves. Known as the Wax Plant, it’s grown mainly as a houseplant in Texas but can thrive outdoors in frost-free parts of the state.

Why Choose It:
Unlike ordinary Hoyas, ‘Flat Leaf Silver’ has striking, shimmering foliage that’s as eye-catching as its clusters of fragrant, starry flowers. It’s a low-maintenance stunner for hanging baskets, trellises, or indoor containers.

Care in Texas:
In USDA Zone 9, this Hoya can be grown outdoors in bright shade or filtered sun, protected from frost. Indoors, provide bright indirect light. Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil. Water when the top inch dries out. Spring and fall are great times to pot up or move outdoors.

Country of Origin: Native to Southeast Asia.
USDA Zones: 9–11 outdoors (Perennial in Zone 9 if protected)
Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral (6.0–7.0)
