šø Hoya Carnosa Hanging Kokedama
Waxy leaves. Fragrant star blooms. Endlessly rewarding.
The Hoya Carnosa, known as the Wax Plant or Porcelain Flower, is one of the most beloved and rewarding houseplants you can grow. Its thick, waxy, deep green leaves trail in long, graceful vines, and when it blooms ā which it does reliably in Nairobi's warm climate ā it produces clusters of perfectly formed, star-shaped flowers with a sweet, honey-like fragrance that fills the room.
Presented in a handcrafted hanging kokedama, this is a living treasure that gets more beautiful with every passing year.
