Describe the plant here... {{Inc| Hoya carnosa, R. Br. (H. motoskei, Teijsm.). Wax-plant. Twiner, and attaching itself to support by means of roots; ordinarily grown as a pot- or tub-plant, and reaching 5—8 ft. high, but growing twice and more this height when it has the opportunity: glabrous: lvs. succulent and shining, ovate-oblong, acute, short- stalked, entire: fls. white with pink center, fragrant, in axillary or inter-petiolar umbels, the crown-segms. very convex, and spreading into a horizontal star. S. China and Austral. B.M. 788 (as Asclepias carnosa). Gn. 69, p. 119. G. 25:123. A.G. 18:34. —The common species, and often seen in window-gardens. After the bloom is over (in summer) keep the plant in a cool place, that it may remain half-dormant. In late winter or spring, start it into growth. Do not cut off the spur which remains after the fls. pass, for this spur bears fls. again. The wax-plant is easy to manage, and it improves with age. Often trained as a permanent cover for a glasshouse wall. The chief drawback is the attacks of mealy-bug, but they may be kept off with a fine stream of water from the hose, and by handwork. In the South, it is nearly everblooming. There is a form (var. variegata) with handsome variegated lvs. Lowe 44. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
