A cultivar of Hoya carnosa (aka Wax plant)

This cultivar that is usually called Hindu Rope plant



When very happy it will produce spurs with flowers that somewhat

resemble waxy milkweed flowers which release an overpowering, but

pleasing, scent at night. It should rebloom from the spurs after a rest.

It sort of suggests a smooth sumac, but the leaves are bipinnate.



Sorry, having hard time with Tiny Pix; can't find how to show actual pix



Took to the nursery leaves from the tree and the bush. They could not ID



Small plant in pot: Nursery guy said it would grow "pearls" cascading down sides. Two

years, zip "pearls" despite good care. Hasn't grown a bit.



You won't ever get pearls from a Hoya. But here's a care guide:

Many thanks, Pat, for your gracious reply.

Am especially glad to get the detail Hoya avec care guide.

Now that I had a name to put to it, I went on-line and found the EXACT plant that was in my pic!

Also checked other Hoyas, and some do have trailing vines. Maybe that was what the nursery guy meant ??

In any case, the plant hasn't budged an inch in over two years, despite good food, water and sun. It's described as being happy in a pot, but I will check just in case it's getting pot-bound.

Again, much appreciate the help.
