Hoya Carnosa 'Chelsea'

Hoya Carnosa Chelsea is a distinctive and beautiful trailing Hoya with thick, waxy, deep green leaves that curl slightly inward at the edges, giving each leaf a spoon-like shape that sets it apart from standard Hoya Carnosa varieties. Like all Hoya Carnosa it produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped waxy flowers and grows on long, trailing vines that look stunning in a hanging basket or draped from a shelf. It is slow-growing, long-lived, and enormously rewarding to keep.

Good for beginners? Yes. Hoya Carnosa is one of the most forgiving trailing plants available. Drought-tolerant, adaptable, and very slow to show stress. Limited to 2 per customer.

Safe for cats and dogs? Hoya carnosa is considered non-toxic to pets.

Light needs: Bright indirect light year-round encourages the healthiest growth and the best chance of blooming. It tolerates medium light but flowering is reduced. An east or west-facing window is ideal.

Care at a glance: Allow soil to dry between waterings. Never let it sit in water. Enjoys higher humidity and appreciates occasional misting. Feed monthly in spring and summer. Never remove old flower spurs as they bloom again from the same point.
