Hoya Krohniana Green 6162

Latin name: Hoya krohniana (green form)
Common name: Heart-Leaf Hoya, Krohniana 🍃
Originating from Southeast Asia, this compact epiphytic trailer carries small, heart-shaped, slightly succulent leaves in a deep satin green. Short internodes create a dense, cascading mat—perfect for shelves, window ledges, or hanging planters.
FLOWER DETAILS
Tight umbels of tiny, star-shaped, waxy flowers 🌸. Corollas are creamy-white with a soft, fuzzy look and a honey-sweet fragrance, most noticeable in the evening. Blooms feel delicate and luminous against the dark foliage, lending a calm, intimate mood.
