Hoya Compacta Rope
The Hoya compacta, sometimes referred to as the Hindu rope plant or compact wax plant, may be the ideal option if you're seeking for a tropical plant that is simple to maintain and brings a sense of the tropics into your house. This fast-growing, extremely adaptable plant, which is native to Southeast Asia and the Philippines, is well-known for its clusters of fragrant blooms and glossy, waxy leaves.
Light
Bright, indirect sunlight is best for this plant, which can be grown both indoors and outdoors.
It can survive in lower light conditions, but it would be happier (and grow larger) in a brighter space.
Temperature
Hoya compacta likes it hot. 70+ degrees Fahrenheit during the day is ideal, as is 60-65 degrees at night.
Humidity
This plant needs a relatively high humidity level of 40-60%.
To amp up indoor humidity levels around your Hoya compacta, place it in a tray containing a layer of rocks and some water, which will evaporate and provide moisture.
Another tip is to keep the plant in the bathroom, where it can enjoy all the humidity created by showers and baths.
Watering
Being part-succulent, this porcelain plant doesn’t require much water.
Water it when the top 2-3 inches of soil are dry. The best method is to water it until the water begins to run out the bottom of the pot, then let it rest until it gets dry again.
During the growing season (spring and summer), it will need more frequent watering than in winter, when it enters its resting phase.
Soil
Loose, well-draining soil is best, so your average indoor plant potting soil mix should work just fine, especially if you add in perlite, sphagnum moss, and orchid bark to promote drainage and keep things light and airy.
