Description
Hoya Hindu Rope, also known as Hoya carnosa compacta, is a popular cultivar of the Hoya carnosa plant. It is a trailing vine plant native to Southeast Asia and is characterized by its unique, twisted, and contorted leaves that resemble a rope or a braid.
The leaves of Hoya Hindu Rope are waxy, and their texture is thick and rubbery, making them drought tolerant and low maintenance. The plant produces clusters of fragrant pink or white flowers that bloom in summer and early fall. These flowers are star-shaped and typically grow in round umbels, or clusters, and can last for several weeks.
Hoya Hindu Rope prefers bright, indirect sunlight, and a well-draining soil mix. It can tolerate low light conditions but may not bloom as often. Watering should be done thoroughly but infrequently, allowing the soil to dry out slightly before watering again. This plant does well in a hanging basket or trained to grow up a trellis.
Propagation of Hoya Hindu Rope is typically done through stem cuttings, which can be rooted in soil or water. It is a relatively easy plant to propagate and maintain, making it a popular choice for indoor and beginner plant enthusiasts.
