Hoya 'Rope Plant' Care Guide

Lighting Conditions

The Hoya 'Rope Plant' thrives in bright, indirect light. More light encourages flowering and healthy growth, while too much direct sunlight can scorch the leaves.

Watering Requirements

Allow the soil to dry out completely between waterings. Hoyas prefer to be underwatered rather than overwatered, as excess moisture can lead to root rot.

Temperature and Humidity Needs

Prefers warm temperatures between 60°F and 85°F (16°C to 29°C). It enjoys moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average indoor conditions.

Fertilizing and Growth

Feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) to encourage lush foliage and blooms. Avoid fertilizing in winter.

Repotting and Maintenance

Repot only when necessary, as Hoyas thrive when slightly root-bound. Trim as needed to remove dead leaves and maintain the plant’s unique appearance.

Decorating with the Hoya 'Rope Plant'

With its thick, cascading vines, the Hoya 'Rope Plant' is perfect for hanging planters or shelves where its unique foliage can be displayed beautifully.
