Ruched ribbons of curled and pleated leaves stream from the base of this plant with a quirky irregularity, giving the Hoya Carnosa Compacta a vibrant, lively personality. The randomized mix of greens from the lighter underside and glossy topside of the foliage run along the vines, acting as a backdrop for the elegant spheres of blush, star-like flowers.
Light
Needs very bright, indirect light. All day sunlight will scorch the leaves. Will benefit from some early morning or late afternoon sunshine. Can cope in light shade but unlikely to bloom. Does well under artificial light making it ideal for office environments.
Watering
Hoya are succulents and store water.
Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between watering, then water deeply and allow to drain thoroughly. Do not
over-water, as too much water will kill the plant. Water sparingly in winter.
Humidity
Prefers higher levels of humidity. Ideal in bathrooms and kitchens.
Feed
Liquid fertiliser can be applied during the growing season, once a month or so should be sufficient.
Height & Growth Rate
Fast growing, reaching lengths of 6m in the wild. Expect trails up to 3m indoors. Prune in spring to maintain desired length.
Toxicity
Sap contains latex which is a skin irritant and is considered toxic, therefore keep away from animals.
