Hoya compacta - 4" Succulents

Hoya compacta, also known as the Hindu Rope Plant, is a fascinating trailing succulent with thick, curled, waxy leaves that twist and spiral along its stems, creating a rope-like appearance. Its unique foliage makes it a standout addition to hanging baskets, shelves, or indoor plant displays. With maturity, it can produce clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers that add a delicate touch of beauty and scent.

Care Guide:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. Can tolerate some morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon sunlight that may scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry between waterings. Reduce watering in winter when growth slows.

• Temperature: Prefers 60–80°F (15–27°C); protect from cold drafts and frost.

• Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity; occasional misting can help in dry indoor conditions.

• Soil: Well-draining potting mix; a mix designed for succulents or epiphytes with added perlite or orchid bark works best.

• Fertilizer: Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.

• Pruning: Remove any leggy or damaged stems to maintain a neat, compact appearance.

• Propagation: Easily propagated from stem cuttings placed in water or soil.
