About this plant
Ruched ribbons of curled and pleated leaves stream from the base of this plant with a quirky irregularity, giving the Hoya Carnosa Compacta a vibrant, lively personality. The randomized mix of greens from the lighter underside and glossy topside of the foliage run along the vines, acting as a backdrop for the elegant spheres of blush, star-like flowers.
