Description
Hoya carnosa, the wax plant, is an Aselpiad species in the dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It is one of the many species of Hoya that are native to Eastern Asia and Australia. The flowers are typically light pink, but many vary from near white to dark pink, they are star shaped, and are born in clusters that look like tiny wax miniatures, The surface of the flowers are covered in tiny hairs giving a fuzzy sheen to them. They are heavily scented and may produce excess nectar that drips from the flowers. Hoya carnosa has been in cultivation for more than 200 years. Recent studies at the University of Georgia have shown it to be an excellent remover of pollutants in the indoor environment.
