Hoya Compacta Curly Rope Plant

The Hoya carnosa Compacta also known as Krinkle Kurl or Hindu Rope (Indian Rope) plant is certainly a favorite of ours with curly leaves and porcelain flowers once it matures. This is a semi-succulent, perennial, that trails and vines with lush waxy foliage and gorgeous blooms. Needs bright light and drying between watering but will give you amazing growth in hanging pots or elevated shelves. A perfect plant for novice houseplant owners. 

Available in the following packaging based on your preference:

• Nursery Pots - Standard plastic 4-inch planter or 6" to 8" hanging basket that can be placed inside a larger pot or left as is until it outgrows it.
• Valentina Terracotta 5" - a beautiful molded terracotta pot that is porous and fire glazed to allow plant roots to breathe; color works well with any decor and will develop a beautiful patina color over time. Includes matching dish underneath to catch water drainage and protect surfaces.
