Wax Plant (Hoya carnosa)
Wax Plant is a classic, long-lived hoya prized for thick, glossy leaves and clusters of sweetly fragrant, star-shaped flowers; an easy indoor vine that thrives in bright, indirect light and a chunky, fast-draining mix as a hanging or trellised specimen.
Distinctive Features
Succulent foliage stores water and develops a handsome sheen, while waxy umbels on mature plants rebloom from persistent peduncles, delivering a long flowering season under steady light and warmth.
Growing Conditions
Provide strong filtered light, warm temperatures, and an airy epiphyte blend; allow partial dry-down between waterings and keep humidity moderate for reliable growth and bloom.
- Sun Exposure: Bright, indirect light; brief morning sun is beneficial, avoid harsh afternoon rays.
- Soil: Well-drained, airy mix with bark and perlite plus a small amount of peat or coco; avoid dense, water-holding soils.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then let the top 1 to 2 in dry; reduce in winter and err slightly dry to prevent rot.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 10 to 11 outdoors; grow as a houseplant elsewhere.
- Mature Size: Vines typically 4 to 10 ft indoors with support.
- Bloom Time: Spring to fall on established vines with adequate light.
- Humidity: Moderate to high, about 40 to 60 percent.
- Soil pH: Slightly acidic to neutral, around 6.0 to 7.0.
Ideal Uses
Train on a hoop or trellis for a sculptural specimen, or let stems cascade from shelves and baskets to showcase glossy foliage and fragrant umbels.
- Focal Point: Shiny leaves and starry blooms create a bold indoor accent.
- Hanging Displays: Trailing stems highlight foliage and flowers.
- Trellised Specimen: Twining growth forms tidy spirals on hoops or ladders.
- Collector Groupings: Mix with variegated or silver-splashed hoyas for contrast.
- Bright-Shade Corners: Performs where many tropical vines struggle.
Low Maintenance Care
Keep roots slightly snug, feed lightly during warm months, and never remove flower spurs to encourage repeat bloom; patience and steady conditions are rewarded.
- Watering: Deep soak and drain fully; allow partial dry-down and avoid standing water.
- Pruning: Tip-trim for shape but do not cut peduncles, which rebloom.
- Fertilizing: Apply balanced or bloom-boosting fertilizer at half strength monthly in spring and summer.
- Mulching: Not required in pots; a thin decorative bark layer can slow evaporation.
- Notes: Provide airflow to deter mealybugs and scale; repot only when rootbound to maintain flowering momentum.
Why Choose Wax Plant?
This beloved species pairs glossy, drought-tolerant foliage with delightful fragrance and forgiving care for years of indoor enjoyment.
- Fragrant Umbels: Waxy stars on mature vines in good light.
- Waterwise: Succulent leaves tolerate brief dry-downs.
- Space Efficient: Trails or trains vertically to fit small areas.
- Long-Lived: Improves with age and steady conditions.
- Easy and Adaptable: Reliable houseplant for beginners and collectors.
Place in bright, indirect light with a chunky mix, allow partial dry-down between waterings, and keep peduncles intact to enjoy repeat bloom and glossy leaves.

"Racial Capitalism"
Format: Paperback
Cedric J. Robinson’s Black Marxism is first a history of Black people appearing in historical texts as far back as Herodotus (c. 484 – c. 425 BCE) in ancient Greece, and second a history of “the collisions of the Black and white ‘races’ beginning in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries.” Robinson’s thesis connects the evolution of capitalism to its roots in racism (racialism) understood in broad terms to comprise the subjugation of one class/group/nation/race by another (the Irish by the English in the nineteenth century, for example). He uses the term “racial capitalism” to express this process—the necessity of opposing classes for the function of capitalism. As a result, “racialism,” he says, “would inevitably permeate the social structures emergent from capitalism.” Keynes attributed the slow change in the “standard of life of the average man” until the beginning of the eighteenth century to “the remarkable absence of important technical improvements and to the failure of capital to accumulate.” Capital is accumulated, in Marx’s view, through the accretion of “surplus labor” which is the extra time a worker “must add to the working time necessary for his own maintenance . . . in order to produce the means of subsistence for the owners of the means of production.” Robinson ties capitalism’s early exploitation of surplus labor to slave labor and the slave trade noting, “historically, slavery was a critical foundation for capitalism.” Robinson traces the forced transport of Black people from Africa (the diaspora) to Europe, as well as Central, South, and North America as a foundation of early capitalism (and slavery as its form of “primitive accumulation” of capital). In his discussions of slavery, Robinson stresses the sense of the enslaved people with respect to their captors in terms of the slaves’ resistance, hostility, and defiance of the masters—their “Black radicalism.” As Robinson’s text approaches the twentieth century and the influence of Marx, his focus narrows to the significance and character of specific Black leaders including W. E. B. Du Bois, C. L. R. James, and Richard Wright and their respective connections to Marxism’s diverse interpretations. Marxism, says Robinson, “has proven insufficiently radical to expose and root out the racialist order that contaminates its analytic and philosophic applications or to come to effective terms with the implications of its own class origins.”

Any socialist movement must centrally address racial liberation to succeed.
Format: Kindle
Robinson's masterwork powerfully demonstrates how the Black radical tradition emerged from the shared experiences of resistance to racial capitalism and colonialism. By tracing this intellectual and political lineage through figures like W.E.B. Du Bois, C.L.R. James, and Richard Wright, Robinson shows that Black liberation struggles were not simply an offshoot of European socialism, but represented their own distinctive radical tradition.
A key insight is how Black resistance movements developed theoretical frameworks and modes of struggle that went beyond traditional Marxist analysis. Where European Marxism focused primarily on class conflict within industrial capitalism, Black radical thinkers recognized that racial oppression was fundamental to how capitalism developed globally through colonialism and slavery. This more comprehensive analysis helped explain why racial liberation had to be central to any meaningful socialist transformation in the United States.
The book compellingly argues that Black liberation movements - from slave rebellions to civil rights to Black Power - represented some of the most significant challenges to American capitalism. These struggles exposed how racial oppression was not incidental but essential to American economic and social relations. By fighting for racial justice, these movements struck at the foundations of the capitalist order itself.
Robinson's updated edition strengthens these arguments by extending the analysis into more recent decades. He examines how Black radical politics evolved in response to neoliberalism and continued racial inequalities, while maintaining connections to earlier traditions of resistance.
For readers interested in both racial justice and socialist politics, this book remains invaluable for understanding how these struggles are fundamentally interconnected. It demonstrates why any socialist movement in the United States must centrally address racial liberation to succeed in transforming society.

A Classic That Requires Time
Format: Paperback
This book is for a particular type of reader. Robinson’s writing is beautiful, but not easy. The ideas are complex. It takes effort to get through. But, if you are interested in Black politics, and looking for fresh thinking, I recommend it highly.
The funny thing is, the title is misleading. It is more about Europe and the formation of capitalism, and what Robinson defines as The Black Radical Tradition. Marx is critiqued but not rejected, and held uneasily at arm’s length.
As Angela Davis wrote, this book needs to be read more than once. It’s like an album or a movie that is so unique and rich that you know you probably missed something on the first go-round. I expect to return to it many years to come.
