Plant details & care
- Botanical name: Hoya Hindu Rope
- Common names: Hindu Rope, Porcelain Flower, Wax Plant, Honey Plant, Krinkle Curl
Unique Hindu rope plants, Hoya carnosa compacta, are draping succulent vines that produce clusters of star-shaped waxy flowers. The thick, twisted, curly, cupped leaves of a Hindu rope plant are why it's often called Krinkle Kurl. Hindu rope plants can be found in solid green or with variegated leaves. This type of hoya plant is very easy to care for as long as you have plenty of light and are careful with your water.
