This evergreen perennial is native to tropical Asia and is part of the Apocynaceae family. The leaves are dark green, often with a slight sheen, and can grow up to 4-6 inches long. Hoya Compacta produces fragrant clusters of star-shaped flowers, typically in shades of white, pink, or red, adding to its appeal. It is prized not only for its unique foliage but also for its low-maintenance nature.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCare \u0026amp; Growing Condition:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHoya Compacta thrives in bright, indirect sunlight.
