Hoya Carnosa Pink 130mm

Hoya carnosa ‘Pink’ – Trailing Wax Plant

Hoya carnosa ‘Pink’ is a beautiful trailing indoor plant loved for its glossy waxy leaves and clusters of soft pink, star-shaped flowers. Once mature and settled, it can produce fragrant blooms with a sweet, honey-like scent, often strongest in the evening.

This variety has a classic vining growth habit, making it ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, trellises, plant stands, and bright indoor spaces. Its evergreen foliage looks attractive even when the plant is not flowering, while the delicate pink blooms add extra charm when the plant is grown in the right conditions.

Why You’ll Love It

This is a lovely choice for anyone who enjoys trailing houseplants with both foliage and flowers. The thick, waxy leaves give the plant a clean, lush look, while the soft pink flower clusters make it feel special when in bloom.

It can be grown trailing naturally from a pot or trained upward on a small trellis. With patience, bright light, and careful watering, it can become a long-lasting feature plant in an indoor collection.

Distinctive Features

Waxy Evergreen Leaves

The glossy green leaves have a firm, wax-like texture and grow along trailing or climbing vines. This makes the plant attractive year-round.

Pink Star-Shaped Flowers

Mature plants may produce clusters of soft pink flowers with deeper centres. The blooms have a delicate star-like shape and are one of the main reasons Hoyas are so loved by collectors.

Fragrant Evening Blooms

When flowering, the scent can become more noticeable later in the day or evening, adding a sweet tropical feel to indoor spaces.

Best Uses

Hoya carnosa ‘Pink’ is ideal for hanging baskets, bright indoor shelves, trellises, windowsills, and decorative pots. It pairs well with other trailing and tropical plants such as Dischidia, Ceropegia, Peperomia, Philodendron, and other Hoya varieties.

For the best display, allow the vines to trail freely or give them a small support to climb.

Care Guide

Light

Bright, indirect light is best. A few hours of gentle morning sun can help encourage stronger growth and flowering. Avoid harsh afternoon sun, especially during hot Australian weather, as it may stress or scorch the leaves.

Watering

Allow the potting mix to dry between waterings. Hoyas generally prefer to be slightly dry rather than constantly wet. Water less often during cooler months or when growth slows.

Soil

Use a free-draining potting mix with good airflow around the roots. A blend with orchid bark, perlite, coco chips, or cactus mix can work well.

Climate

This plant prefers warm, sheltered conditions and should be protected from frost, cold drafts, and sudden temperature changes. Indoors, keep it in a bright position with good airflow.

Fertiliser

Feed lightly during the active growing season with a diluted balanced houseplant fertiliser. Avoid overfeeding, as steady growth is better than soft, weak growth.

Want Your Plant with a Pot?

This plant has been grown in a 130mm nursery pot, so that size is a helpful guide if you are choosing a decorative pot for your home. We usually ship bare root to keep the plant fresh and reduce shipping costs, but we are happy to pot your plant on request.

Good to Know

Hoyas often flower best when they are slightly root-bound, grown in bright light, and not overwatered. Avoid cutting off old flower spurs, as new blooms may form from the same points again.
