Popular 1970s Houseplant Is Making A Major Comeback
The low-maintenance plant is great if you don’t have a green thumb.
When it comes to decorating your home, it is always a good idea to include some plants. The problem is, which plants are the best choice? After all, there are so many choices out there but if you haven’t considered a hoya, you might want to give it a second look. It used to be popular in the 70s but now it is making the rounds again.
The hoya, also known as the wax plant is a succulent that is known by it’s fuzzy or shiny leaves. You can grow it in a traditional container but a hanging basket is also a great choice.
The low-maintenance plant is great if you don’t have a green thumb. Just add it to your home and try to remember it every once in a while.
The only problem is the fragrance. Not everyone appreciates a strong-smelling plant so if you do, just grow it outside.
Each variety of hoya has a different colored leaf.
One popular option is the Tricolor Hoya with pink, white, and green leaves.
