Hoya australis — commonly known as the Wax Flower — is a classic, fast-growing Hoya loved for its glossy, deep green leaves and beautifully scented star-shaped blooms. This easy-care climber or trailer is perfect for bright, airy rooms, rewarding you with steady growth and, when happy, clusters of sweetly fragrant white flowers. Tough, forgiving, and wonderfully decorative, it’s an ideal choice for both beginners and seasoned Hoya collectors who want a plant that feels lush without being demanding.

Plant Care 

Light: Likes bright indirect light. Can handle some gentle morning or late-afternoon sun. Don't try for low-light conditions with this one.

Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Hoyas prefer to stay on the drier side and hate soggy soil.

Temperature: 18-24°C These plants prefer things on the warmer side but don't let them get below 16°C 

Potting: These plants like a well-draining mix. Our Airy Aroid mix does the trick

Hot tips: Humidity is key for hoyas, a bright bathroom would be ideal! This plant is a light feeder, so don't go crazy with the fertiliser.

Pet Friendly: YES
