I think I just purchased this Hoya… my first one ever, and I don’t even know the name of it…🙄! Please let me know what this beauty is, and any tips that will help me care for it. TIA…

Looks like a Hoya Compacta

Any helpful care tips?

#### Lynda replied on 2025-01-16

Which one… There are several that I saw?

#### Mr Variegated replied on 2025-01-16

Carnosa

### Leaf🌱 commented on 2025-01-16

Agree

Hahaha oohhh Palmstreet has you. I'm glad I'm not alone 😆 😅

#### Lynda replied on 2025-01-17

What’s your opinion re Palmstreet? Have your plants arrived in fairly good condition? I just needed a plant fix, and when I saw that Hoya, I decided to buy it, on the spot!

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-17

So I've bought from 5 people. 1 wasn't great, those anthuriums weren't insulated correctly. The rest have been great

#### Lynda replied on 2025-01-17

I did buy a heat pack, and expedited two day shipping, so I’ll just have to wait and see what I get…🙏🏻😳😬!

#### Wolfen 🐺 replied on 2025-01-17

Some sell insulation separately too I'd ask about it. The silver kind

#### Lynda replied on 2025-01-18

Weeelllll…. You should never have told me about Palmstreet… Bad girl! I just purchased FIVE plants today; can you believe that?! I just told my hubby about it, and he didn’t even bat an eyelash… 😬! I think he might’ve been in shock, but I’ll just have to wait and see what happens when they arrive… 🫣! if you don’t hear from me, maybe you better report it to the authorities…😱!

Looks like variegated Hoya Compacta, a carnosa cultivar. Also called Hindu Rope, or just Rope

#### Lynda replied on 2025-01-17

Having researched the available Hoyas on Planta, that’s the one I was hoping it was; it is absolutely beautiful!😍 I’m really excited about getting it! I just hope it gets here with more than one living leaf…???
