Plant Care
A unique member of the Hoya genus, Compacta Rope are easy to take care of, but slow to show results. Capable of tolerating lower light conditions, this plant prefers bright indirect light, and needs the higher light in order to flower. Water when the soil is almost completely dry, and feed them only in the sping and summer. When repotting your Compacta Rope, use our Cactus and Succulent Soil to allow for better drainage.
