Description
Hoya carnosa 'Indian Rope' is a distinctive and eye-catching cultivar, prized for its thick, curled, and twisted green leaves that give the appearance of a rope. This slow-growing vine is perfect for hanging baskets, where its cascading foliage creates a dramatic effect. From Kambarang (Late Spring) to Bunuru (Late Summer), 'Indian Rope' produces clusters of sweetly scented, star-shaped flowers. The blooms are pale pink with a darker pink centre, adding charm and fragrance to any indoor space.
Ideal for Perth’s climate, 'Indian Rope' thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining, open potting mix. Water thoroughly and allow the soil to dry out between waterings, reducing the frequency during cooler months. Feed with a balanced liquid fertiliser during the growing season to encourage healthy growth and blooming. This hardy and adaptable plant is a low-maintenance choice for both beginner and experienced indoor gardeners.
