Hoya compacta D6 (Hindu Rope) - almond fragrance
€6,95
Hoya compacta, commonly known as Hindu Rope, has trailing vines with twisted foliage, short internodes, and a rope-like appearance. Hindu Rope is a common name. The leaves are thick, glossy, and dark green; occasional silver splashes may appear, but these are not variegation. The flowers are white or pale pink and fragrant. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions. A rewarding houseplant with simple care requirements.
Foliage and growth. The leaves twist around the stem and over one another. The green is rich and saturated; the underside may be paler. When they appear, silver splashes remain on the green tissue and do not replace a cream margin. The degree of twisting varies from one vine to another. This lot is not ‘Regalis’, with marginal variegation, and is not ‘Mauna Loa’, with a central pattern.
Flowers and fragrance. The flowers appear among the twisted leaves. They are star-shaped, white and pink or pale pink, with a corona that is darker toward the center. They are fragrant; in Secret Garden lots, the scent is described as almond-like, with no guaranteed intensity. Horticultural reports sometimes also mention honey, vanilla, or chocolate. The flowers last for a few days, depending on the microclimate. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.
Identity. The commercial title remains Hoya compacta (Hindu Rope). As a taxonomic note: Kew (POWO) treats Hoya compacta as a synonym of Hoya carnosa. It also circulates as Hoya monstruosa or Indian Rope. Lacrima Maicii Domnului, Wax Flower, and Porcelain Flower are broad common labels for Hoya, not synonyms for this form.
