Hoya carnosa ‘Compacta Variegata’, also known as the Variegated Hindu Rope Hoya, features thick, tightly curled leaves with stunning cream to pink margins. The undulating, textured foliage creates a living, sculptural effect—perfect for hanging baskets, shelf arrangements, or decorative mounts. Its compact yet dramatic appearance makes it a standout plant for both beginners and experienced collectors.
🌸 Flower Details
Produces tight umbels of waxy star-shaped flowers, each around 8–12 mm across.
Flowers display soft blush to pale pink petals surrounding a deeper pink or crimson corona.
Each cluster yields 20–40 fragrant blossoms, exuding a sweet, honey-like scent.
Blooms typically appear on mature plants and tend to rebloom from existing peduncles if those are left intact.
🌞 Care Instructions
Care Aspect
Recommendation
Light
Bright, indirect light; morning or evening sun enhances variegation and encourages blooms.
Water
Water thoroughly when the top 2–3 cm of soil are dry. Avoid standing water to prevent root rot.
Soil
Use an airy, fast-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite + coco coir or pumice).
Humidity
Prefers 50–70% humidity; tolerates average indoor conditions with occasional misting.
Temperature
Ideal range is 16–28 °C (60–82 °F); protect from temperatures below 12 °C (54 °F).
Bloom Care
Do not remove old flower stems—they support annual reblooming.
Potting
Prefers being slightly root-bound; narrow pots encourage blooming.
