50 Houseplants That Are Healthy to Keep at Home

24. Hoya is a vine, though it also has succulent-like properties.

Hoyas are a large family of semi-succulent vining plants. They are evergreen perennials often epiphytic, like Rabbit’s Foot Ferns, meaning they draw their nutrients from things other than just soil, including trees and the air. As epiphytic plants with thick, waxy leaves, they are excellent oxygenators that are perfectly equipped to draw common pollutants out of your household air along with the nutrients they need to survive. Hoyas come in various shapes and colors, including the beloved Hoya kerii, which features large heart-shaped leaves in green or variegated yellow and green.
