About
The Rope Hoya combines ease of care with high visual impact. The twisting, curling vines are glossy and a vibrant green. It can tolerate low light, but growth will slow and it will not flower. Forgetful waterers need not worry, epiphytic plants draw moisture from the environment and the semi-succulent nature of these leaves ensure that it is good at storing moisture. Hoyas are pet safe!
