Botanical name: Hoya carnosa ‘Krinkle 8’
Also known as: Krinkle 8 Hoya, Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower

The Hoya Krinkle 8 is a charming tropical vine admired for its thick, glossy leaves uniquely shaped with eight natural dimples. These textured leaves give the plant a sculptural look while maintaining the classic beauty of a Hoya. When mature, it can produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped blooms that shimmer like porcelain.

Perfect for hanging planters or shelves, this Hoya is easy to grow and thrives with minimal care, making it a favorite among beginners and collectors alike.
