What is a Wax Plant?
A wax plant (Polianthes tuberosa) is a succulent perennial that grows up to two feet tall. The leaves are ovate, green and fleshy, with lobes at the base.

How to Care For A Wax Plant

First of all, wax plants require strong light to grow well. They do best in direct sunlight or near a window. If your wax plant doesn’t receive enough light, it may start to produce less wax and die.
secondly, water your wax plant regularly. Make sure the soil is moist but not soggy. Too much water will cause your plants to rot.
Finally, be sure to fertilize your wax plant occasionally with a balanced fertilizer that has been diluted half and half with water.
