Hoya carnosa, commonly known as the Wax Plant, is a much-loved indoor climber prized for its thick, glossy foliage and beautifully scented, star-shaped flowers. Available in three striking colour variants — Pink, Red, and Black — this long-lasting indoor plant is perfect for Australian homes seeking low-maintenance greenery with high visual impact.
This is a drought-tolerant, and exceptionally hardy indoor plant. Hoya carnosa is ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, or trailing from pots and trellises and is one of our top recomendations within the small plant or trailing plant category for people who struggle to keep plants alive.
Hoya carnosa is incredibly versatile indoors and works beautifully as:
Prefers bright, indirect light. Can tolerate lower light, but flowering is best with good light exposure. Avoid harsh direct sun.
Allow the soil to dry out between watering. Hoya carnosa prefers less frequent watering and does not tolerate soggy soil.
Average household humidity is sufficient, though slightly higher humidity can encourage flowering.
Thrives between 18–30°C. Protect from cold drafts and frost.
Very low maintenance. Do not remove old flower spurs, as Hoyas rebloom from the same points.
Size and trailing length will vary depending on age, pot size, and growing conditions.
Yes. It is one of the easiest flowering indoor plants and perfect for beginners.
Provide bright indirect light, avoid overwatering, and be patient. Mature plants flower more reliably.
Yes. It is ideally suited to indoor conditions across Australia.

Absolutely thrilled with my silver lady fern! The plant arrived in perfect condition—lush, vibrant, and clearly very healthy. Communication throughout the process was excellent, with timely updates and helpful responses to my questions. Would definitely order again!
The heartleag they delivered looked so healthy! I’m looking forward to have this plant in my collection.
A beautifully delicate palm, delivered with love and care—thank you!
This is the first time I purchased from TAPS and I was so happy with the quality of the plants. It made a beautiful gift for my mum who has been searching for a cardamom plant for so long. I will definitely purchase from them again
This plant was handpicked for me and it is beautiful. It’s very healthy and quite the stunner.
So colourful and pretty looks majestic in my front courtyard!

The Palm looked heathy and beautiful, it took some time to arrive but was worth the wait! Much bigger than I thought a an amazing specimen.

We have white walls and this plant is perfect! The plant is very healthy and luscious! It was delivered right to our door with care and a smile.. I would definitely buy again!
The plants I received were so well packed for transport and just completely healthy with lovely thick stems and perfect foliage. I 100% recommend buying from The Australian Plant Shop as they will make sure you get a plant that is value for money.
Very healthy looking plant and arrived very quickly upon placing order. 10/10 would order from here again :)
A very good quality Ginkgo biloba was delivered within four days of my placing the order. It is well-priced and a more substantial plant than I had anticipated. A bonus was that the Nursery member of staff who delivered the Ginkgo was delightful and courteous.
The plant arrived early afternoon yesterday & is indeed a beautiful specimen. Thank you so much.
I ordered 22 Escallonia plants shortly before Christmas for a new informal hedge. The plants arrived quickly and are all very healthy and of a similar height. I’m extremely happy with both the plants and service provided!
Fastest delivery! Friendly! The ZZ plant is so beautiful! Perfect gift. Accommodating! Definitely will order again soon!
