Hoya Hindu Rope

The Hoya Hindu Rope, also known as Hoya carnosa ‘compacta’, is a unique houseplant with many distinctive features:

Leaves
The Hindu Rope’s thick, waxy, and curly leaves are semi-succulent and glossy. The leaves fold in half and curl back on themselves, giving the plant a rope-like appearance.

Flowers
The Hindu Rope produces clusters of star-shaped flowers that are usually cream-white or pink with a red center. The flowers have a sweet aroma and may create a sticky sap.

Growth habit
The Hindu Rope is a slow-growing, evergreen vine with a trailing or climbing habit. It can grow up to 15 inches long and is ideal for hanging baskets or trailing down from shelves.

Origin
The Hindu Rope is native to East Asia and Australia, where it thrives in warm, humid conditions.

Care
The Hindu Rope prefers bright sunlight but should be placed in a location with indirect sunlight at most. It does best in temperatures between 60°F and 80°F (15°C and 27°C) and should be kept away from drafty places.

Symbolism
The Hindu Rope symbolizes protection and prosperity. In Feng Shui, it is believed to bring harmony and positive energy into a home.
