Hoya Compacta Green (Hindu Rope)

Hoya Compacta Green (Hindu Rope)

The Hoya Compacta Green (Hoya carnosa 'Compacta')—also known as the Hindu Rope Plant—is a fascinating vining houseplant with thick, curled green leaves that twist and fold into a rope-like form. Its unusual texture and waxy, cascading vines make it a standout in hanging baskets or trellised containers. Given the right care, this slow-growing epiphyte may produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Best of all, it’s easy to care for and non-toxic to pets.

Sun Requirements ▾

Hoya compacta performs best in bright, indirect light—a few gentle morning or late-afternoon sun rays are ideal. Avoid harsh midday sunlight to prevent leaf scorching, and note that low light may slow growth and reduce flowering

Watering Instructions ▾

Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering. During the growing season this typically translates to every 1–2 weeks; reduce frequency in winter when growth slows. Use soak‑and‑dry watering with a well-draining mix and drainage holes to avoid root rot . Slight leaf wrinkling signals it’s time for a drink

Care Tips ▾

Growing best in warm temperatures (65–85 °F / 18–29 °C) with 40–60% humidity, this plant enjoys occasional misting or placement in a humid spot. Use a mix of orchid bark, perlite, and peat for optimal drainage. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength . Repot infrequently—the plant prefers to be slightly root-bound
