curly leaf houseplant


Question
I have had this plant for over 2 years in a 4 to 6 inch pot.  It is dark
green with curly waxy "leaves".  From the center, three of the curly
waxy spiraling  "tails" come out  about 5 or 6 inches long and
drape over the edge of the pot.  It is very slow growing as it was
nearly this size when I got it.  I'd like to know what it is.  Thanks!

Answer
Jean,

It is a Hoya carnosa "Krinkle Kurl", common name Hindu Rope. Yes, it is very slow growing.

You can get more info about it at this website:

If you have more questions after reading that write again. Good luck.
