Hoya carnosa 'Compacta' variegata 'Mauna Loa' aka 'Lura Lei' aka 'Exotica' is a cultivar of Hoya carnosa (L.fil.) R.Br. Hoya carnosa has been in cultivation for more than 200 years and has given rise to many cultivars that vary in foliage form or flower color. It is definitely one of the most-loved and most-often cultivated Hoyas.
Hoya carnosa 'Compacta' a' or 'Hindu Rope' is a very unique growing Hoya characterized by its unusual, curled, twisted, waxy leaves that emerge on long rope-like vines.
This variegated variety shows 'inverted' foliage colouration: it has dark green leaf edges and a bright, almost yellow center.
The genus was named in Modern Latin in honor of English gardener and botanist Thomas Hoy (c. 1750-1822).
