Hoya carnosa, also known as the Wax plant. Is a plant that is native to Australia and East Asia.

Given enough light, Wax Plant will produce parachute clusters of star-shaped, white to pink flowers with five-point centers.
GROWING INFO
Light: Bright indirect light year-round. Some direct sun is fine, but shade plants from harsh summer sun, which can scorch foliage. Hoyas will live in low light, but will not bloom.
Water: Water thoroughly spring through fall, allowing potting mix to dry out a bit between waterings. Flowering Hoya plants are thirsty, but don't like to sit in soggy soil. In winter, water sparingly giving the plant just enough to keep the soil from drying out completely.
Humidity: Prefers 50% relative humidity. Misting the foliage with a fine spray of room-temperature water helps, but avoid getting the flowers wet.
Temperature: Keep it warm year-round (18-24°C), with a minimum temperature of 16°C.
Soil: 2 parts peat moss-based potting mix with 1 part perlite added for better drainage.
