4" Hoya Rope

Hoya Rope (Hoya carnosa ‘Compacta’)

Hoya Rope is a quirky, conversation-starting houseplant loved for its thick, twisted vines that resemble braided ropes or curls. The waxy, deep-green leaves are tightly folded and cascade slowly over time, making this plant perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves. Tough, sculptural, and low-maintenance, it’s a classic favorite for plant lovers who appreciate something a little weird in the best way.

With patience and the right conditions, Hoya Rope can reward you with clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that ooze sweet nectar.

Care Tips:
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light; can handle some gentle morning sun
💧 Water: Allow soil to dry out almost completely between waterings; prefers being slightly root-bound
🌫 Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity but does well in normal home conditions
❄️ Temperature: Thrives in warm temps (60–85°F); avoid cold drafts
🐾 Pet Friendly: Yes

Fun Fact:
Hoya Rope is a mutation of Hoya carnosa, and its curled leaves grow slowly but can live for decades—some hoyas are passed down as family heirlooms 🌿✨
