Oooh, Hoyas and double OoOoOh, Hoya compacta "Hindu Rope"! Me favorite plant! (not carnosa compacta, just compacta)
One thing said about them that was mentioned that I disagree with (only because I've read it many times - it's not because I'm brilliant, lol) is that they need a larger pot. Hoyas LOVE to be rootbound. When they are, they put less energy in growing more roots (as they love to be all squished) and more energy in length and flowering.
Most Hoyas like to be dry. Like, water them and let the soil dry out a bit so that the first inch of soil is dry to the touch, then water them. However, the Hoya Compacta is different. They like to be wetter and don't dig being dry.
Blurry close up shot is of the new growth on the variegated plants that are a beautiful pink and maroon.
Hoya with the pink stems is a "strawberries and cream". I've seen it debated whether or not this is a compacta or a carnosa. I think it's lovely, either way.
Some of my Hindu Ropes (the top two in too big of pots - they've been put in smaller ones since this picture).
Hindu ropes with orchid sandwiched between them (same two too big potted ones)
