# I recently rescued a rope plant from Lowe’s and am looking for any…

_Posted by Riley on 2023-06-20_

I recently rescued a rope plant from Lowe’s and am looking for any advice. Should I try to split and repot since it’s so large? I already trimmed quite a bit. What’s the best way to give it love and keep it alive?  
Thank you!

That looks like a Hoya Compacta to me. If it is so, I would not repot it, as it likes to be slightly root bound. If you think it needs to be repoted (the soil is stinky, or to wet) then I would change the soil but keep it in the same size of pot.

Hmm me thinks its a Twisted Lipstick Rasta. Looks a bit sunburned. Indirect shade light best.

It does look a lot like that! Everything I looked at kept telling me rope plant. Thank you for the help!

I agree with Danika. Twisted Lipstick Rasta.
