Hoya australis 'Compacta'
Hoya australis 'Compacta' is a dense, upright-growing form of the Australian species Hoya australis. It develops firm, rounded green leaves held closely along the stems, giving the plant a compact, tidy appearance. Flowers are white with a red centre, forming rounded clusters that carry a sweet scent typical of the species.
The plant performs well in bright filtered light with consistent warmth and a lightly drying cycle. Its compact structure lends itself to indoor spaces where it maintains a neat form, and steady feeding during the warmer months supports ongoing growth and flowering.
