Hoya australis, commonly known as Waxvine, Porcelain Flower, and Honey Plant, is a classic, easygoing vining houseplant loved for its thick, glossy green leaves and clusters of sweetly fragrant, star-shaped blooms. Native to Australia and parts of the South Pacific, this vigorous climber naturally grows along rainforest edges and rocky coastal regions, making it both adaptable and rewarding indoors.

Train it up a trellis or let it trail from a shelf or hanging basket—Hoya australis ‘Waxvine’ brings a lush, tropical look with minimal fuss, making it a great pick for beginners and seasoned Hoya collectors alike.

Why You’ll Love Hoya australis

  • Fragrant Blooms: Produces clusters (umbels) of porcelain-like, star-shaped flowers with a sweet scent.
  • Glossy, Waxy Foliage: Thick leaves stay attractive year-round and help the plant tolerate occasional missed waterings.
  • Easy & Adaptable: Does well in average indoor humidity and a range of bright-to-medium light conditions.
  • Trailing or Climbing Habit: Ideal for hanging baskets, shelves, trellises, or moss poles.
  • Pollinator Friendly (Outdoors): In its native habitat, flowers can attract pollinators—including butterflies.

Plant Profile

  • Botanical Name: Hoya australis
  • Common Names: Waxvine, Porcelain Flower, Honey Plant
  • Family: Apocynaceae
  • Native Range: Australia; parts of the South Pacific
  • Growth Habit: Trailing / climbing vine
  • Toxicity: Commonly listed as non-toxic, but as with any plant, discourage chewing and keep out of reach of pets/kids who like to nibble.

Care Guide

  • Light: Best in bright, indirect light. Can tolerate medium light, but brighter light improves growth and blooming. Avoid intense, direct midday sun.
  • Water: Let the top 1–2 inches of soil dry between waterings. Water thoroughly, then allow excess to drain. Overwatering is the fastest way to stress a Hoya.
  • Humidity: Average home humidity is typically fine. Higher humidity can support faster growth and easier blooming, but it adapts well.
  • Temperature: Prefers 60–85°F (16–29°C). Protect from cold drafts and sudden temperature drops.
  • Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix (e.g., potting mix amended with orchid bark and perlite/pumice) to keep roots airy.
  • Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring/summer with a diluted balanced fertilizer. Reduce or pause feeding in fall/winter.
  • Support: Provide a trellis or hoop if you want upward growth; Hoyas often bloom more readily on mature vines.

Propagation

Propagation is simple with stem cuttings. Take a cutting with 2–3 nodes, remove the lowest leaves, and root in water, sphagnum, or a chunky Hoya mix. Keep warm with bright, indirect light for best results.

Note: Avoid removing old flower spurs (peduncles)—Hoyas often rebloom from the same spurs.

Very happy with
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
I really like this. Quickly clear after applying. No sensitivity issues. Moisturizing. It does leave a sheen which I personally like and doesn’t feel overly greasy to me.

Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
This sunscreen has worked well for me and I like that it is a mineral formula. The main thing to know is that it can take a little effort to rub in fully so you do not see it on your skin, but I do not consider that a major problem. That is pretty normal with many mineral sunscreens, and I would rather deal with that than use something that does not agree with my skin. Once applied, I have been happy with it and have no real complaints. Overall, it has been a good face sunscreen for me.

Best sunscreen ever
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
I love how light it is, it doesn’t leave a white cast. It even leaves skin looking glowy. It also feels moisturizing. I have sensitive skin that breaks out with sunscreen. It doesn’t breakout with this one! I also love that it’s hsa eligible! Have already recommended and shared with others. I will never switch to another sunscreen.

Works great but very runny
Set name: Face - 1.7 oz.
I’d call this a liquid and not lotion. It literally pours out of the tube without even squeezing so has to be held upright at all times when the cap is off. Makes a real mess (and I do shake it well before opening as the instructions say). Other than the packaging, I really like the product. It blends well with no white cast after rubbing in, is moisturizing without looking greasy at all or causing breakouts, and has provided good sun protection. Impressed! Also like that while water and sweatproof, it washes off with a gentle face cleanser at the end of the day unlike some of the zinc-based products I’ve tried that leave a thick coating and require scrubbing. This is my first Blue Lizard product and I’ll probably keep using it as a daily sunscreen—but definitely not to throw in a bag and take to the beach because of the messy application. Bought the stick version to try out.

Great for sensitive skin and actually dries clear!
Set name: Body - 3 oz., Set name: Body - 3 oz.
I'm trying to be on top of my sunscreen application after YEARS of never wearing it. My skin is extremely sensitive and prone to eczema. Any chemical sunscreen that was applied to my body (especially the elbow/knee pits) would cause me to break out in horrible eczema patches. I switched to mineral sunscreen, but everything left a ghostly white sheen. Luckily, this sunscreen does exactly as advertised. I've been using it daily for a week straight, and I have had no problems with it. The consistency of this product is thick, kinda sticky at first, and a bit hard to blend/spread out, but I think that's bound to happen with any sunscreen that's actually protective. It may also seem that it leaves a white cast initially, but after letting it dry for a minute or two, it becomes clear. Overall I can't recommend this enough, and I'm glad to finally have a sensitive-skin-friendly mineral sunscreen that doesn't leave a white cast :)
