Hoya Krohniana 'Eskimo' Silver 6128

🦊 Hoya krohniana ‘Eskimo’ (also known as Hoya krohniana Silver Splash) is a compact, trailing species from the Philippines, adored for its small, heart-shaped leaves dusted with silvery speckles. Each leaf looks as if it’s been softly brushed with silver paint, giving the plant a delicate shimmer under light. Its dense, cascading vines make it perfect for hanging baskets, terrariums, or bright shelves where it can drape elegantly.
FLOWER DETAILS
Clusters of tiny, star-shaped flowers appear along the vines, typically white with a soft yellow center. The blooms release a gentle, sweet fragrance, most noticeable during the evening. When mature and kept in bright, stable conditions, Hoya krohniana ‘Eskimo’ can flower several times a year, often on older growth.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
☀️ Light: Bright, indirect light keeps variegation and silver flecks vivid; avoid harsh midday sun.
💧 Water: Let 60–70% of the soil dry before watering; prefers slightly dry conditions to prevent root rot.
🌡️ Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%); good air circulation prevents leaf spotting.
🪴 Soil: Use a well-draining mix — orchid bark, perlite, and coco husk — to mimic its epiphytic roots.
🏺 Potting: Best in a hanging pot or trellis; repot every 2–3 years or when roots fill the container.
🌱 Growth rate: Moderate; forms dense mats of vines under ideal light and warmth.
🐾 Pet friendly: Non-toxic but best kept away from chewing pets.
