Hoya compacta ‘Variegata’ – Twisting Wax Plant Beauty 🌿🪷

Hoya compacta ‘Variegata’ is a stunning trailing houseplant with thick, twisted, rope-like leaves edged in creamy white or pale yellow variegation. The dramatic foliage is not only sculptural, but also produces clusters of star-shaped, fragrant pink flowers when mature. It’s a slow grower but a true showstopper, perfect for hanging baskets or cascading from shelves.

Key Features:

✔ Eye-catching curled foliage with cream and green variegation

✔ Produces clusters of fragrant, waxy pink flowers

✔ Slow-growing but extremely rewarding

✔ Ideal for hanging pots, macramé displays, or trailing shelves

✔ Drought-tolerant and easy to care for once established

Care Instructions:

Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – some gentle sun will enhance variegation

Watering: Allow soil to dry out between waterings – avoid soggy roots

Humidity: Tolerates typical home humidity – benefits from occasional misting

Soil: Use a free-draining, airy mix (e.g. orchid bark + perlite + potting soil)

Feeding: Feed monthly in spring and summer with a balanced houseplant fertiliser

Temperature: Thrives in 18–26°C – protect from drafts and cold

Growth: Slow-growing – can eventually trail 60cm+ with time and care

🌿 Tip: Keep it slightly rootbound for best flowering and avoid moving it while buds are forming.
