- The past couple of months I have been nurturing this sad Hoya carnosa compacta. See where it is now!

When I saw this sick little vine on the Lowe's clearance shelf, I knew I had to try and bring it back. Hoya carnosa compacta is a really popular plant with its unique crinkled leaves and modern looking vines, this plant is a show stopper.
Hoya carnosa care is simple. They like fast draining soil and bright indirect light. They can handle some neglect which make them a great houseplant for those who aren't always on the ball when it comes to watering.
When I first picked up my plant rescue, I wasn't sure it was going to make it. It was cased in a weird green floral sponge that hand't seen water in days. The leaves were super wrinkled and crying out for water.

It was planted in floral foam ! Had you soaked the whole base in water for about 20 mins, it would have come away easily. The roots still look very viable & I'm sure the plant will recover well. :-)
Yea, I new it was foam, but in the moment it didn’t occur to me to soak it first! 🤦🏽♀️ next tim for sure! Thanks for the tip!
Rae Keats can you plz check out mine

Hi Rae, do you know much about these plants? I bought a beautiful one from a florist who thought it was about 10 years old as he got it from a gentlemen’s garden, but I think they cut off the end, will it shoot out new growth from elsewhere or is there anything I can do to make new growth come out from anywhere else? I love these and have a few, my smaller ones are all growing well from the tip.
next time first soak that green thing, it'll make it soft. That way it will be easy to carefully peel it off and not damage the roots. At least, this counts for most of them but I also once had one that was pretty much just plastic and my only choice was to leave it on or just cut the stem and make it grow roots from scratch :( But this one looks like the one you could soak.
That’s a great tip!! I didn’t think of that. Thanks!!!
I don’t understand what the problem is it’s just in green foam that breaks right off you can even put the foam in water and the plant will continue to grow roots you could even just stick that green foam in soil and the roots will grow right through it
Thank you for this video! I had ordered and received two cuttings about a month ago now. One cutting is doing very well, but the other has been slowly going downhill. I just took it out of the soil and the roots are not good at all, so I stuck it in some water. I love this variety of Hoya, so hopefully it can be saved!
What did the roots look like?
SuburbanSill they’re hair like. Very thin, dry, and brittle
Try the water therapy and see if that helps. Keep us/me posted!
If you put this plants in the water 💦 for few hours. It’s can much more easy to loose roots Zlata. Florida
My favorite hoya it really hurts seeing this
That green junk is what the florist puts cut flowers in to keep them fresh. Never seen that! Would a compacta live in water alone?
My Publix had this same exact Hoya in the same exact tube and floral foam. Thankfully my foam was damp and it helped a lot of getting it free. The direction on the glass tube said it water the foam. Like noooo? Hopefully mine takes to the soil
Watering the foam before removal would have been smart of me🤦🏽♀️, but I had never seen this before. Next time I will for sure! Good luck with your Hoya. I bet it will do just fine.
Wow! Thanks for this video. Last year I went to Lowe's and bought 2 of the same vase and Hoya Hindu Rope plant for $1 a piece. I had to cut off the top of the vine, since it was dead. I also gently broke off the green styrofoam off and soaked the roots. I used the same vase. It is great for rooting tall cuttings. Both of mine came right back and I repotted them together. They are doing great.
😎
Awesome! Nice work! I kept that tall vase too, thought it would come in handy for propagating. I keep hoping to stumble on another Lowe’s Hoya Rope. Such a good find!
Fingers crossed!
😎
I have one of these and the top of the plant has a little brown part that looks dead. I would say maybe half an inch of brown. Do I have to cut that piece off for the plant to grow?
@@annaford8539 That is exactly what I did. The roots were glued into floral foam and when I took it off of them, some roots were damaged. I had to propagate the roots in water. Took a long time to root. Then I potted up in soil. Took awhile to start to grow.
I did cut off the top section, since it was dead. It was either over or under watered at Lowe's.
Have you tried Miracle Grow Orchid Spray? My Hoyas love it. I got that idea from Nicole from My Clean Leaves.
Good luck and let me know how the plant does.
😎
@@annaford8539 sterilize your scissors or clippers with rubbing alcohol before cutting the plant.
😎
Good save!
I would definitely straigtaway plant it in potting soil after getting rid of the propagation foam. And then put them in mini greenhouse or propagation box to increase humidity for at least 1 month before acclimated it to the house so that the plant only stress once instead of two stressful transition.
Great tip!! Thank you for posting!
Fiona Santos can you plz check my one to save it

That's how I got mine too, took it apart and put it a good soil mix and fingers crossed!
Nice! Good luck, and let me know how it goes. I love this plant!
I just found one like this at a local nursery. I'm glad I brought it home cuz it was shriveled and so so dirty. Fingers crossed the little guy makes it 😅
Good find!! I bet you can bring it back!
@@SuburbanSill Update: no new growth unfortunately but it's developed a lot of roots now. I found two more shriveled strands of hindu rope at another nursery and am in the process of getting them rehabbed. I'm on my way to a fullish plant!
@@JessicaRuiz323 nice work! I’d say the roots are a good sign.
@@SuburbanSill I think so, too. I'm gonna work on getting a pebble tray set up so these strands have higher humidity. It's my first winter with plants and I've noticed how some of my plant's leaf tips are starting to crisp. I want these babies to thrive!
How do they grow n wild,ground or up a tree
If you don't even know what floral foam is, how do you expect to rescue a hoya? You could have easily googled what it was instead of ripping off a bunch of roots!
I just bought the same one this evening. I think I'll just use the jar as a propagator.
Good idea!! There are some great tips in the comments about soaking the floral foam first before removal. Something I learned after the fact. 👍🏼 Thanks for watching!!
Hoya carnosa is its own breed, that's like saying Hoya carnosa pubicalyx.
It's either a carano, Australa, pubicalyx, not both.
The hoya carnosa is the most common where they pubicalyx (also know as the black dragon) is more rare.
The Hoya australa (I think I'm spelling it wrong) is also a bit more of a rare breed.
The shooting star hoya is even more rare.
It's called Oasis. That plant is a survivor. All it needed was a drink. 🌿
For sure! I think that is why I like rescuing these plants. I am always amazed at how resilient they are. This rescued Hoya is starting to put out new growth, which is always nice to see.
SuburbanSill May god bless your Hoya
Pray for mine which is 5’ talk 4 in one pot gets dehydration. Now watering and misting leafs . Not sure if they are liking media or not . I put coco cheeps charcoal and brick cheeps
What a challenge! But you got the little plant going! Should be all down hill from now on🤩🤩
Haha!! Sooo true! 😄
Where you buy you plants. Florida
Seriously? A foam plug? What the..... I am shocked!
After I read so many comments and concerns and your concern about my Hoya too . I thought of making a video after a week. Now I feel I should do it to day and up load so that I can get a better support. !!! Thanks for your concern !! Be back soon with the uploaded link !!
Why don't you just pot it up the floral foam gave you the roots
Why didn't u soak the floral foam 😩
I should have!! Live and learn.
Hi this was the only video or information on soaking the hoya compact in water over a period of time. Mine is super wrinkly and roots were very damaged. I am soaking and hoping for the best but it is so sad looking... :( Thank you for the video.
Give it some time!! I bet it comes back.
so will the leaves where the bare stem is ever grow back? Right now my Hoya CC has lost basically all its leaves. I am wondering if the leaves will not grow back, will cutting the stems off with no leaves encourage the plant to make new stems to grow leaves on. Also, is it possible to snip the tip of the bare stem and put it in water (to hopefully grow roots, of couse) and then pot it? if the stem beneath a node grows roots after planting, will it grow new foilage? thanks for your help!!!
My Hindu rope each 5 ‘ long and took 4 of such out of
pot and out all in a leather community pot about 3 months back .
Now I noticed dehydration taking place . Not sure if they did not like media. ? Media was not succulent type. It’s more of coco chips charcoal and coco peat based a media .
Should I repot with Hoya types media ? Or they are fine in that media but need more water . We are having very dry day . My vandas are socked early morning and spray more two times a day . Humidity only 34% while temperatures is 38 C
Plz suggest me now !!
What does the dehydration look like? Wrinkles leaves? You may want to try mixing your coco chips and coco peat with some succulent soil or all purpose...that might help it with a little more water. Just make sure it drains well.
How often do you water?
SuburbanSill we just finish winter now in spring. So Siri BG Winter once in 4/5 days . But during spring when I found dehydration I shift it from my balcony to my roof top shade room and than for last 1 week I am watering and spraying foliage every day !!
The dehydration looks like wrinkle the leaf !!
@@HamimChowdhury ok...maybe just give it some time. If you just watered and watered thoroughly...until the water ran out the bottom. Maybe give it some time and see if the leaves fill out. if after a week or so you don't see a change, water again. Make sure and give it some time in between watering so your roots don't get soggy.
SuburbanSill ohh yes the media is charcoal so the water run off fast . I also think it might need some time as I over watered it . I am concerned about it’s spike .
There might be other reason is
As the plant pushes out spike to she is pulling back all her energy / nutrition from leaf as such leaf getting yellow . Could be a reason. One suggest to cut off the new spike to get the plant get it Settled ..
let’s finger X
Nice video! How is your Hindu Rope doing now? I have one that is not growing at all, not even a leaf! It's not dying either, it´s just laying there... It's potted in soil and I just moved it away from the balcony because dry season is starting down here n the tropics. Could she be needing some minerals? Calcium maybe?
I understand they are slow growers but this is too much! 😒
How long have you had it?
@@SuburbanSill almost 2 years!!
So almost two years and NO new growth?
First thought, check your light situation and maybe move it to a new spot. Perhaps pull it out of the pot and check the roots...change the soil and pot it back in the same pot. Use an orchid bark type soil. Might be worth trying a light fertilizer...something natural so you don’t shock it too much. Make sure it’s on a regular watering schedule and give it some bright light. See if that will force some growth.
@@SuburbanSill nope! Nada!! I changed the soil and pot 5 mos. ago and everything was good: roots, drainage, etc.
Any update on this now?
Thank you for these rescues. this was a fun watch!they are very informal. ahii when its just about marketing for those ppl.. glad you saved it!. - Plant rescue! lol plz i have one that has brown /black spots taking over the leaves on the plant. idk what it might be?
It could be that you have a fungus or possibly some pests. Try cleaning the plant with an insecticidal soap and maybe a fungicide.
Hoya Hindu rope are very slow growers
Yes they are! But that makes new growth all that more exciting.
SuburbanSill for mine no growth is also I considered growth. But dehydration is worst .

Did you change the water daily when it was in the glass? i have one i thought about doing that to because it came to me all messed up in the mail.NOT healthy and its verigated too,so i want to save it,but dont want to kill it.
Or.....should i just repot it? im so scared im gonna kill it.
I changed the water probably once a week or so. I wanted to wait until I saw good/new root growth and I felt like that was sign it was healthy enough to move to soil. I also waited until I saw the leaves recovering. So maybe when you see positive recovery signs you could pot it up. Good luck! Keep me posted.
@@SuburbanSill Will do,thank you .
Sonata Blue can you check my one has sickness

You are supposed
To
Put that green plug in water
Just put it into the water it will come back alive.
Hiya, thanks for the video. I'm here as I have a sad HCC and I wondered if there's anyone here who could give advice whilst I can't go to the garden centre. (Currently in lock down UK) If my HCC leaves look like this but the soil is damp is re-potting a good idea? Not sure I can even get soil from anywhere right now. If I can't how can I help it get better?
So you have wrinkled leaves? When did you notice the wrinkled leaves and then how long ago did you water?
Hello from Alberta! what store did you rescue it from? Thanks
Most of my rescues come from Lowe’s. 🤪
This was painful to watch.
That’s from Lowes’s isn’t it?😅
Yes
You’re taking too long!
Three bucks .... I paid 20$ 👎🏾
Well I’m sure your plant was much bigger and in much better health!!!
Not at all😒
Tammy Wilson shoot...I’m sorry. That stinks!
