Description
Hoya carnosa 'Compacta Variegata' has the same twisted, waxy leaves and vining growth habit as the classic Rope Hoya. However, the foliage is edged with creamy white and pink variegation, with entire stems occasionally emerging pure pink or white. Sometimes called by one of its nicknames, Variegated Hindu Rope Hoya or Variegated Indian Rope Hoya, it makes an excellent hanging plant because the rope-like vines of foliage naturally cascade as they grow long. Eventually, lovely clusters of pink fragrant flowers blooms in summers.
Environment
Easy to grow & don't require much attention. Hoya do best in filtered light or with lots of artificial light in indoors.
Hoya plants don't ask for much, beyond the well-draining soil and the warm humid conditions (similar to bromeliads and orchids)
They are epyphite, can be grown in orchid medium or light potting mix with lots of bark conditioner. Hoya like the security of a snug pot, and plants that are a bit root bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot.
This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds .
Landscape Use
It makes a nice hanging basket, but also does really well as a mounted plant
