Hoya Carnosa ‘Compacta’, often called the Hindu Rope Plant, is a unique and eye-catching cultivar with thick, curly, rope-like leaves. The cascading vines twist and curl in dense formations, giving it a sculptural, ornamental look. This plant is ideal for hanging baskets or as a trailing feature on a shelf or stand.
🌸 Flower Details
Produces round clusters (umbels) of waxy, star-shaped flowers.
Blooms are typically light pink with darker pink coronas, often emitting a strong sweet scent.
Each cluster can include 20–50 blossoms and may appear multiple times a year on mature vines.
Flowers emerge from peduncles (flower spurs) that stay on the plant and rebloom over time.
