House Plant Shop Hoya Carnosa
Best low-maintenance vining plant for busy indoor gardeners.
This vining beauty offers the rare reward of sweet-smelling, star-shaped blooms without the high-maintenance temperament of other flowering varieties. While you will need to provide a trellis to manage its sprawling habit, the stunning, variegated foliage makes it a sculptural centerpiece even when it isn't in season.
