Hoya compacta (Hindu Rope Plant)

How to grow Hoya compacta indoors in NZ

Hoya compacta, also known as Hindu Rope Plant, thrives indoors in bright, indirect light and warm, draft-free conditions. Use a free-draining potting mix, such as an orchid or cactus blend with added perlite. Water when the top few centimetres of soil feel dry, and reduce watering during winter. It prefers moderate humidity and benefits from monthly feeding with a diluted liquid fertiliser during spring and summer. Keep the plant slightly root-bound and avoid cutting flower spurs.

Hoya compacta care tips

Place in bright, indirect light and avoid direct sun. Use a free-draining potting mix with added perlite or orchid bark. Allow the top layer of soil to dry out between waterings and reduce watering in winter. Maintain moderate humidity and feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser. Avoid disturbing the roots too often, as it prefers to be slightly root-bound. Do not remove old flower spurs, as blooms usually return on the same spot.
