Hoya carnosa compacta

Hoya carnosa compact has distinctive, twisted and gnarled leaves that are deep glossy green. Their flowers are a blushing light pink. Truly a statement piece and very slow growing. Can be trained around a trellis/support, or allowed to dangle as a hanging specimen. 

Hoya grow best in bright, indirect light. Water only when the soil is completely dry as hoyas prefer a good wet/dry cycle and do not like being consistently moist. Hoyas also prefer to be “pot-bound” so only repot when necessary and pot in a tight pot, only slightly large in size to the one it is currently in. Plant in well-draining potting soil with added perlite and bark for good drainage. 

BONUS: Hoyas are pet friendly!
