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.

The best way to tire your dog out in the dark
Size: 25in
My 7 month Golden Retriever puppy has way too much energy. And I go to work in the dark, and come home in the dark. This was the solution.
First of all if you get this, I suggest a UV flashlight to charge it. Most of these phosphors for glow in the dark items have very strong optical absorption in the UV, and the UV will charge both the ball and the launcher in seconds. I shine the light at the launcher with the ball in it, since you can then see where the launcher is when you are trying to load the ball. I use this UV flashlight, which takes qty=3 AA batteries.

I have never used a launcher before and I learned it within about 10 throws. It is easy to have a basic competence. I live in a suburban area and I send the ball across front lawns, trying to avoid the street, or hitting my neighbors parked cars. I can consistently do this now with the launcher, which is a big improvement over the old tennis racket and ball routine.
I got the 25" medium ball launcher, which also works for tennis balls. The scoop goes easily over the Chuck-it balls. My older dog is not taking to it, since he was trained to sit and give the ball. This works better if you have the dog drop the ball so you can scoop it.
The glow in the dark ball has 2 holes (think wiffle) that have a low pitch whooshing whistle as you toss it. This is great for my puppy who gets easily distracted as the glowing ball and the noise it makes really helps him propery mark it. Overall I think the dog retrieves better in the dark as there are fewer distractions, and I feel better about the dark for retrieving since there is no traffic early in the morning (both foot and auto). The ball has some squish to it and the pup loves to chew on it as he brings it back. I do not let him play with it when we are not retrieving...better for him to destroy his chew bones and ropes. It took him about 5 tries to get the hang of picking up the new ball. The older dog (13yr old golden) does not like it and only goes for tennis balls.
I can tell already this is my puppy's favorite toy ever. I put it up out of reach across coat hooks in the entryway, and that pup will sit there staring at it, then at me, then at it hoping that I will go out and use it. With bounces and rolls and the puppy missing the grab this has gone 100-150' across 3 front lawns. I am looking forward to giving it a go in the park on the weekend.
Main problems with the pup now are he likes to parade around me with the ball when he comes back, then lie down and try to give it a proper chew. If I use my launcher to pick it up, I have to put my foot between him and the ball since he will try to get it back fast. Overall this launcher means faster pickup, faster release, more accurate release, good distance, and a better run per time allocation than the old tennis racket and ball routine.

Chuck a Glowing Ball
Size: 18in
This baby ball checker is good for a medium sized dog because of the size of the ball which glows in the dark. It is a handy feature for playing with the dog at night. It is fairly priced, durable. It doesn’t squeak and is not made to be chewed. F your dog likes to run around after balls this should be good for you.

This is the one to buy if you wish to get the most out of your arm and give the most to your dog
Size: 25in
The pro series must be made of a higher quality plastic than the original version, as the stiffness of the Pro series chucker allows for way more distance with less effort and greater control (for line drives, high arching throws, and bouncing grounders). Your dog will thank you endlessly for choosing the Pro over the regular (original) models. I have an old legacy original model that I keep in my truck for road trips that works reasonably well, though not as well as the Pro version. Here’s the thing: Before purchasing the Pro model, I ordered another original version (same length, 25”) and was instantly disappointed in how soft and leverageless was the chucker. Either my (original) original one (a Goodwill find) stiffened over the course of years, or the newly made “original” versions are now made with a softer kind of plastic. This soft chucker led to a disastrous throwing experience for my dog. Instead of thrilling at each throw and the lightning fast response of my dog, I hated every throw. I returned the “original” model and ordered the only 25Pro model I could find at 25” on Amazon… a glow in the dark version. There may be a benefit to the glow in the dark feature, but I don’t really care about that. It’s the leverage that I wanted and that’s what I got with the Pro version 25”.

Great design
Size: 25in
Ball is very durable yet soft. Whistles when you throw it and goes very far. Handle is ergonomic with a nice rubber grip. Both the launcher and ball glow green in the dark. My GSD loves it. She’s 75 lbs and the medium ball is fine.

Husband and dogs highly approve.
Size: 25in
My husband wanted us to replace one from a different company that broke. It had to have a glow in the dark ball, since he sometimes plays fetch with the dogs at night. He couldn’t love this more. Says it’s so much better than the other one, the whole thing glows in the dark and it throws farther. According to him, it’s the best ever.
