Hoya Rope Plant

Hoya Hindu Rope 🌿🪢 is loved for its thick twisted leaves that curl along trailing vines, giving it a sculptural look that feels a little quirky and a little elegant at the same time. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where it can spill beautifully from a shelf or hanging planter and may reward patient growers with clusters of fragrant flowers as it matures. This is a generally easy plant, but it likes to dry a bit between waterings and does not love soggy soil. Pro tip: give it strong light and a little patience ✨, because this is not a fast grower but it is worth the wait.
