Hoya Carnosa Extract

Specification: 10:1 1kg
Botanical Name:Hoya carnosa (Linn. f.) R. Br.
Family:Asclepiadaceae
Used parts: rattan or leaves

Hoyacarnosa, the wax plant, is a species in the dogbane family (Apocynaceae). It was formerly considered a member of the Asclepiadaceae, the milkweed family. It is one of the many species of Hoya that are native to Eastern Asia and Australia. It is a common house plant grown for its attractive waxy foliage, and sweetly scented flowers.

The flowers are typically light pink, but may vary from near-white to dark pink; they are star-shaped, and are borne in clusters. The surface of the flowers are covered in tiny hairs giving a fuzzy sheen to them. They are heavily scented and may produce excess nectar that drips from the flowers. Hoyas are unusual in flowering from specialized perennial structures referred to as spurs. These appear from the axils of the leaves and stem; flowers may not be produced when the spurs first appear, but in time buds emerge from the tips. Each season the new flowers are produced on these same spurs and so they should not be harmed or removed.
