4" Hoya Krohniana Silver
Hoya krohniana 'Silver' is a slow-growing, vining plant. It can be grown as a hanging plant or trained to climb up a support like a trellis or pole. Its vines can reach up to several feet long, so it can be a great addition to a space that allows for some trailing growth. Here’s how to care for it:
Light: This Hoya prefers bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, like most Hoyas, it will thrive and produce better growth and flowering in brighter spots. Avoid direct sun, as it can scorch the leaves, especially the silvery markings.
Watering: Like most Hoyas, it’s important not to overwater. Let the soil dry out between watering’s. Water thoroughly, but make sure the pot has good drainage to prevent root rot. During the winter months, reduce watering as the plant is in a semi-dormant state.
Humidity: Hoya krohniana 'Silver' thrives in higher humidity, though it can adapt to normal household humidity. If you want to boost growth or encourage flowering, consider placing the plant in a more humid environment or using a humidity tray or room humidifier.
Soil: Well-draining soil is a must. A cactus or succulent mix can work well, or you can create a mix of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This will help ensure good drainage and air circulation to the roots.
Temperature: This Hoya prefers warm temperatures, typically between 65°F to 85°F (18°C to 29°C). It doesn’t like cold drafts or temperatures below 50°F (10°C), so be sure to keep it away from chilly windows or air conditioners.
Please note we ship out our houseplants on Tuesdays to ensure the plants don’t sit at the post office all weekend.
