Hoya 'Silver Moon'

Hoya carnosa 'Silver Moon'

Hoya Silver Moon is known for its splashes of silver variegation and decorative foliage. This plant is pet-friendly.

If you're looking for an exotic indoor plant that's very easy to grow, take a look at hoya (also sometimes called wax plant). This unique houseplant is a vine (but don't worry; it's not a fast-growing one!) that has thick, waxy leaves and clusters of star-shaped waxy flowers. It's among the most tolerant of all houseplants.

Lighting: Grow your easy-care hoya bright light. It tolerates low- and medium-light, but doesn't typically bloom in these conditions. Like most flowering houseplants, the more light hoya gets, the more flowers it will produce.

Watering: Water hoya when the potting mix dries out. Don't worry if you forget to water it once or twice -- this houseplant doesn't mind. Its thick leaves and stems help the plant store water. Do take care not to overwater it; hoya would rather be too dry than too wet and can suffer from root rot.
