Hoya Carnosa Compacta Hindu Rope in 4in Pot. - Etsy

Native to the south-east of Asia, this slow growing plant is easy to care for and needs plenty of light, so it can bloom it’s flowers. Due to the fact that it is a epiphytes it receives most of their moisture and nutrients from the air around them and most of their energy from photosynthesis (where water and carbon dioxide, in the presence of sunlight, combine to form the glucose that is essential for their growth). When using a fertilizer, chose a liquid fertilizer.

Light: Place the plant where it will receive around 6 -12 hours of bright light per day. This hoya can also handle direct sun and enjoys it. However, to prevent the leaves from scorching, I advice to slowly introduce your hoya to direct sun, placing it first where it can get morning or late afternoon direct sun for no more than 4 hours and slowly increase the time. If that is not an option, place it on a windowsill in your home where it will receive the most light throughout the day.

Temperature: 65-75 F and moderate humidity.

Soil: Well draining potting soil. Prefers to be pot bound.Repot every 2-3 years.

Water: Let soil dry out between watering, ensure excessive water is able to drain out. This plant does not like to be overwatered.

Pet Safe: Yes.
