This listing is for a fresh unrooted cutting The Hoya Carnosa plant is a very hardy and easy to maintain plant, it can be outside in partial shade during warmer months or inside. Hoya loves afternoon sun. :) It vines and is nice in a hanging basket or splashing over the side of a planter!. It produces truly unique and beautiful star shaped waxy flowers that have a wonderful scent. It also makes for a good companion plant to orchids. The price on hoya has significantly increased recently due to low availability I have many hoya varieties, please have a look! This item is shipped in moist towel. **Shipping** I combine shipping. Please check out my other listings! To combine shipping please add items to your cart and do one single checkout. Please request an invoice for orders over 3+ items as the shipping rates tend to become exaggerated and I will adjust them for you. I can fit multiple items into one flat rate box to save $$. Happy planting! Shipping is done early in the week to avoid long exposures over the weekend. Every now and then things do happen at the Post Office during shipping which can leave your plant damaged beyond saving. All I ask is for a picture of the DOA plant immediately upon receipt and I will replace the item. Normal shipping wear should be expected ? leaves may fall off or soil can be disrupted. These items ship from Florida. If it is cold out there in your area some plants will hold up fine during shipping but heat packs are available. They are listed separately in my shop for $2.00 if you feel you need one. I will not replace for cold damage if you choose not to purchase the heat pack. Most importantly -- I appreciate my buyers!!! Please contact me with any plant concerns or questions before leaving feedback. I am here to help. :)
