  • The Hoya australis often known as the Common Wax Flower is an evergreen foliage plant with thick fleshy shiny green leaves. This real live popular houseplant on a hoop is also known as the Waxvine, Honey Plant and Porcelain Flower and produces clusters of sweetly scented white star shaped flowers with red pink centres. It's beautiful shape makes it a perfect gift idea for plant lovers.


  • This pretty Indoor in a 12cm plastic growing pot likes higher humidity levels available in a kitchen or bathroom but it looks great growing in a living room or as a desk plant. With its air purifying qualities the Wax Flower helps clean the air, removing harmful toxins and providing a healthy and fresh environment.
  • This vining houseplant has a fast growing climbing or trailing habit often growing up to an incredible 3 metres. It can continue to be displayed on the hoop provided but can also be trained to grow up a moss pole or decorative Indoor structure. Hoya australis plants are also ideal for displaying in a hanging planter or in a decorative pot on a shelf or on top of a bookcase, where the twining vines will grow downwards.

Please note: the decorative pot shown in the images is for illustration purposes only and is not included with the plant.

Watering Water when the top few centimetres of compost begin to dry, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain away. Do not leave the plant sitting in standing water, as consistently wet roots can lead to rot. Growth slows in winter, so reduce watering frequency during cooler, darker months.

Best Growing Conditions Grow in bright, indirect light and protection from harsh direct sun, ideally at around 18-26°C, away from cold draughts and sudden temperature changes. Use a good-quality, well-drained houseplant compost and make sure excess water can drain freely from the pot. Most houseplants perform best with moderate humidity and should be kept away from strong radiator heat.

Top tip

Turn the pot a quarter turn every week or two so the plant develops evenly, and wipe broad leaves occasionally to keep them free of dust. Good drainage is especially important, so avoid leaving the roots sitting in persistently wet or compacted soil.
