No, the Hoya Wayetii Variegated is not considered pet-safe. It is best to keep this plant in a location that is inaccessible to curious pets.

Yes, it is a flowering variety. While it may take time to mature, providing the correct light and consistent care increases the likelihood of it producing clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers.
