# I finally got a variegated compacta 🥹 My plant shop had them at 50%…

I finally got a variegated compacta 🥹 My plant shop had them at 50% off and I couldn’t not get it. I know it’s going to take forever to grow but hoya growth is so rewarding!

Cute that’s one that’s definitely on my wish list

What a cutie! Mine is cuttings from a massive one at a local nursery. It doesn’t seem like she’s grown at all yet! 😅😂

Ugh yeah, I have a regular green compacta that has only given me 3 new leaves in a year! These hoyas are truly a lesson in patience!

#### Alison replied on 2024-02-06

Whoa! Now I can adjust my expectations. Lol!

what substrate do you have your hoya growing in? i have a variegated compacta in leca that’s doing so much better than my green one in soil… wondering if that’s the issue

#### Alison replied on 2024-02-08

I’ve kept it in whatever the nursery put it in, figuring they know how what they’re doing. Lol. It seems to be fast-draining when I water it and is chunky.

I’ve got one I’ve had for 3-4 years(?) and it’s in way too deep a ceramic pot with a cactus mix soil and it does great. I’m having to wrap the vines around the pot. I need to figure out where to cut it to propagate more!

So happy for you!! I’ve been wanting one for ages but no where around me has any!
