The Hoya Macrophylla, also known as the Wax Plant, is a stunning tropical vine that is highly sought after for its large, variegated leaves and fragrant flowers. Native to Southeast Asia, this plant is a favorite among collectors and houseplant enthusiasts due to its striking appearance and easy-care nature. Whether displayed in a hanging basket, on a shelf, or trained on a trellis, the Hoya Macrophylla is a versatile and elegant addition to any indoor space.


Plant Characteristics

  • Foliage: The Hoya Macrophylla is distinguished by its large, waxy, and elliptic leaves, which can grow up to 3 inches wide and 6–8 inches long. The leaves feature prominent veining and are often variegated with creamy white or pink margins, creating a stunning contrast against the deep green centers. Under stress conditions, the margins may flush pink, adding even more visual interest.
  • Growth Habit: This vining plant produces long, twining stems that can trail gracefully or climb when supported. Its manageable growth habit makes it ideal for hanging planters, shelves, or decorative trellises.
  • Flowers: The Hoya Macrophylla occasionally produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers. These blooms are waxy, pale pink to white, and emit a sweet aroma, making them a delightful feature of this plant. The flowers often rebloom on the same peduncles, adding to their charm.

Care Instructions

The Hoya Macrophylla is a hardy and low-maintenance plant, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced plant parents.

  • Light: Provide bright, indirect light to encourage healthy growth and vibrant variegation. While it can tolerate medium light, brighter conditions will enhance its foliage and increase the likelihood of blooming. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
  • Watering: Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly when the soil feels dry to the touch, but avoid overwatering, as this plant is sensitive to waterlogged conditions. Its semi-succulent leaves store moisture, making it drought-tolerant.
  • Humidity: This tropical plant thrives in moderate to high humidity levels, ideally around 50–70%. While it adapts well to average household humidity, misting or placing it near a humidifier can help it thrive.
  • Temperature: Keep the plant in a warm environment, ideally between 60–85°F (16–29°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 55°F (13°C) or cold drafts, as these can harm the plant.
  • Soil: Use a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for epiphytic plants. A combination of orchid bark, perlite, and peat moss works well to mimic its natural growing conditions.
  • Fertilizer: Feed your Hoya Macrophylla with a diluted liquid fertilizer every 4–6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding during the fall and winter when the plant’s growth slows.
