Many plants have waxy leaves that are covered in a substance called cutin. This helps the plant to survive by preventing water loss and damage from insects and other animals.

There are many different types of plants with waxy leaves such as eucalyptus, pine trees, palms, magnolias, and cycads. Some people might think it is strange that some of these plants live in climates where there is not much rain or humidity. However, the waxy leaves allow them to thrive because it helps them retain moisture, despite not getting as much external water source like rainfall.

 Jade plant

The Jade Plant (Crassula ovata) is one of the most majestic plants with waxy leaves. It is an evergreen succulent plant native to several regions in South Africa.

Although it is mostly called “the jade plant” due to its leaves of jade-green color, Crassula ovata is also known as money plant, money tree, or lucky plant. It is a very common houseplant around the world, especially because it requires a very low level of care.

The jade plant does not produce very impressive flowers and does not bloom very often but is mostly grown for its beautiful miniature-tree look and its gorgeous glossy aspect. It has juicy, sparkling, and smooth leaves.

The Wax Plant

The Wax Plant (Hoya carnosa) is a common house plant grown for its charming waxy foliage and pleasantly scented flowers. It is indigenous to Eastern Asia and Australia and is also known as porcelain flower.

Hoya carnosa is a plant that immediately attracts attention when found in any room. If you are not familiar with it, most of the time you might confuse it as an artificial plant due to its shining leaves of extraordinary beauty.

The wax plant not only has superb waxy leaves but also produces beautiful clusters of stunning scented flowers that also seem to be made of wax. It grows well both in pots and hanging baskets.

Peace Lily

Peace Lily (Spathiphyllum wallisii) is one of about 50 species of tropical perennial house plants in the genus Spathiphyllum. They are also commonly known as white sails or spathe flowers.

If you love green, leafy houseplants but don’t have too much space for a large tropical plant, a peace lily might be the perfect choice for you. It doesn’t grow too big and has many dense dark-green shiny leaves which can give any place a lively look.

Peace lilies will mostly bloom during springtime but can also produce flowers multiple times a year. Their blossoms are white and look like an open flag or the hood of a cobra snake. When flowers rise from between the leaves, they create a splendid contrast with the waxy, dark leaves of these plants.
