Hoya Compacta Variegata 6cm

🌿 Hoya compacta ‘Variegata’ Care Guide

Compacta Variegata is a proper character — twisted, rope-like vines with creamy variegation running through thick, curled leaves. Slow-growing but full of personality, it’s a standout piece that gets better with time. 🌿✨

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Needs good light to maintain strong variegation

• Can handle a little gentle morning sun

💧 Water

• Allow most of the soil to dry out between waterings

• Thick leaves store water — prefers drier conditions

• Use a very well-draining mix (bark, perlite, coco coir)

🌫️ Humidity

• Prefers moderate humidity (40–60%)

• Adapts well to normal indoor conditions

• Extra humidity can support healthier growth

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer

• Use a balanced liquid fertiliser

• Reduce feeding in cooler months

🌱 Quick Tips

• Slow grower — don’t expect rapid growth

• Check deep within vines when watering to avoid dry pockets

• Don’t remove flower spurs — blooms return from the same spot
