Hindu Rope does look like a rough, thick, rope, growing stiffly out and over the edges of its container. Its leaves are deeply folded and tightly curled and look a lot like fat, shiny, green snails jammed on a straight stem. Some stems can grow out naked, then populate with leaves later. The slowest grower ever, with this guy patience is called for. Old plants can grow long, as long as 4' or more with perfect care, taking years to get there. The rare variegated one looks like a party's going on, in a fashion show of shades of green, pale pink and rose and cream, and even the purest white leaves. The flowers on both green and variegated are big, round balls of pink stars, and appear just whenever, not following any plan or season. The variegated one is a rare bird, indeed! We don't see this plant much anywhere. This one's a must for Hoya lovers.
