Buy Hoya Carnosa plants NZ. The Hoya is also known as porcelain flower or wax plant. The glossy leafed Hoya plant grows as a vine.

A popular houseplant, Hoya are great to grow in hanging baskets where the vine trails downward, or shape it over a frame as in an indoor feature plant.
Hoya plants do prefer warm conditions so are suited for indoor growing, though I have seen it growing outside in a warm sheltered spot, growing up a trellis to create a living wall or privacy screen.

Hoya produce beautiful clusters of star shaped flowers that release their scent at night. The scent is powerful and flowers can be enjoyed, or easily removed.
