Description:
The Hoya Carnosa Compacta, also known as the Hindu Rope Plant, is a striking and unique addition to any plant collection.

It produces clusters of star-shaped, fragrant flowers that can range from white to pink, making it a delightful plant for those who enjoy both lush greenery and occasional blooms.
Caring Tips:
Light: Prefer bright, indirect light. It can tolerate low light but will grow more slowly and may produce fewer flowers.
Watering: Allow the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity. If your home is dry, consider misting the plant occasionally or placing it on a humidity tray.
Temperature: Best suited for temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C). Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Fertilization: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
Pruning: Trim back any dead or yellowing leaves to encourage new growth. You can also prune to maintain the desired shape and size.
Repotting: Repot every 2-3 years or when the plant becomes root-bound. Choose a well-draining potting mix and a pot with drainage holes.
