Hoya Carnosa 'compacta'
A retro plant most known from grandparents' kitchens, this tropical indoor plant often called a “Wax plant” due to its thick waxy leaves is a classic because it lives forever, grows to be enormous, and creates beautiful, porcelain-like fragrant flower clusters. This plant has fleshy curled leaves crowded together with a dark green colour and glossy almost waxy finish. Native to Eastern Asia and Australia, this plant looks great on shelves or in a macrame hanger with its trailing vines. It is also said this plant cleans air and helps remove pollutants in the air.
