# Can anyone confirm that this is a snake plant? Plants is giving mixed…

_Pubblicato da happysoxdonkey il 2025-06-15_

Can anyone confirm that this is a snake plant? Plants is giving mixed ID, as either a snake plant or a type of Hoya. The leaves do feel a bit thick and waxy so maybe it is a Hoya?

I ordered a pet friendly mystery box and this is what I received. If it is a snake plant then it is toxic. I reached out to the company but haven’t yet received a reply. I have a puppy who puts EVERYTHING in his mouth so I need to be extra vigilant.

ETA: I took all the helpful information from everyone and searched their website and now I do think it is a Hoya. I will keep it in the garage away from Samwise Potato until the confirm but I’m a bit relieved that it will probably be OK. This will be my first Hoya so I will be super excited to have one!

It looks like it could be a Hoya Pubicalyx!

Oh thank you. I was so worried that it’s a snake plant but it doesn’t quite look like any snake plant varieties I have researched.

I agree, looks like a Hoya pubicalyx.

I second. That to me is a Hoya.

#### happysoxdonkey ha risposto il 2025-06-15

I hope so! If it is I’ll be very happy with it.

This looks more like a Hoya than a snake plant to me.  
That being said, I would keep it away from curious puppies until you hear back from the company 🐶

Thank you. This guy never stops picking up \*snack\* whenever he can!

This is the face that says “yes it is pretty, but can I eat it?”

Oh my goodness! That is a cute dog! What is their name? 🥰

#### Katherine ha risposto il 2025-06-15

What an absolute cutie!

#### happysoxdonkey ha risposto il 2025-06-15

This is my Shih Tzu named Samwise Potato! He’s a good boy when he’s not putting stuff in his mouth that he shouldn’t!

#### Ms.Issy ha risposto il 2025-06-15

That’s an excellent name! He looks like a Samwise Potato 🥔 💚

That’s a Hoya

#### happysoxdonkey ha risposto il 2025-06-15

Thank you! I just downloaded a different app and it says Hoya even though planta insists it’s a snake plant. I have a different plant that is a snake plant and it looks nothing like it!

Sometimes Planta loses its mind 😂 Love my Hoyas not only because I think they’re the prettiest but also because they’re safe!

#### happysoxdonkey ha risposto il 2025-06-15

The pup in your profile picture is adorable.

#### MicAZ ha risposto il 2025-06-15

Thank you. There are 2 Shih Tzus too 😊

#### happysoxdonkey ha risposto il 2025-06-15

I have a Shih tzu (pic above) and he’s the most delightful breed. He has the best personality!

It’s a Hoya I believe
