release_alert Low Stock - 1 available
Hoya carnosa ‘Indian Rope’ – Outside Variegate is a beautiful variegated form of the iconic Rope Hoya, distinguished by its tightly curled leaves with creamy-white outer margins and deep green centres. This sculptural plant is slow-growing but incredibly rewarding, producing clusters of soft pink, star-shaped flowers that stand out against its thick, contorted foliage.
Key Characteristics

Growing Conditions
- Light: Bright filtered light is important for maintaining variegation; protect from harsh direct sun.
- Water: Allow the mix to dry well between waterings; curled leaves trap moisture so avoid overwatering. Detailed guidance in How to Water Hoyas.
- Temperature: Prefers warm growing conditions between 18–28°C.
- Humidity: Normal indoor humidity is fine; light to moderate humidity supports steadier new growth.
- Potting Mix: Use a very airy, free-draining mix to prevent water retention in thick leaves; this aligns with recommendations in Understanding Hoya Roots.
- Fertiliser: Feed lightly during the warm season to encourage growth and flowering.
