Hoya Krohniana Super Silver

Bold silver coloring and reliable flowering are the trademarks of Krohniana Super Silver Hoya. The metallic silver leaves have a beautifully simplistic pointed oval shape, and the flowers bloom in bundles of highly scented creamy white. Hoya Krohniana is native to the jungle rainforests of the Philippines and is one of the fastest-growing and youngest Hoyas to bloom. Low maintenance is also a significant advantage, as this Hoya can tolerate moderate periods of drought between waterings, provided it is growing in a humid environment.Best Locations for Growing Hoya Krohniana Super Silver Plant this Hoya in a small pot to decorate tabletops, desks, and shelves. Hanging baskets are ideal for brightening up a bathroom or kitchen, where these epiphytic jungle plants thrive in the extra humidity. Hoyas are not considered toxic to pets or children.Hoya Krohniana Super Silver Sunlight RequirementsPlace your Krohniana Super Silver in indirect bright light. This can be either across the room from a south-facing window or directly in a west or east-facing window. If a bright spot is not available, Hoya will happily grow under grow lights. Set the timer for 12 hours to mimic the longer days of summer.Hoya Krohniana Super Silver CareEpiphytic plants like Hoya thrive in loose potting mixes that retain moisture. Use an all-purpose indoor potting mix combined with either orchid bark or perlite in a 1:1 ratio. Hanging baskets should have plenty of drainage at the bottom and can be watered in a sink with a sprayer attachment to moisten the potting medium evenly and thoroughly. The sprayer attachment can also be used to wash off the foliage occasionally, removing dust and dirt that accumulates indoors.Watering Hoya Krohniana Super Silver Hoyas like to dry slightly between waterings. Their succulent stems and leaves are excellent at conserving moisture and do not tolerate overwatering. Check for moisture levels and plan to water about once a week in the spring and summer. Reduce watering to about once every 14 days in the fall and winter, depending on the humidity level of your home.Feeding Hoya Krohniana Super Silver Hoya plants can be encouraged to bloom with a formula for African violets or orchids. The higher phosphorus content supports flower production and strong root growth. Feed your Hoya once a month according to the manufacturer’s directions during the spring and summer months.Hoya Krohniana Super Silver InformationLight Exposure: Bright Indirect LightMature Height: 12 InchesMature Spread: 3 FeetHabit: Climbing, TrailingFlower Color(s): Pink, WhiteFoliage Color(s): GreenWatering: Dry Out Between WateringsFeatures: Rare, Variegated Foliage, FragrantCommon Name: Krohniana Super Silver HoyaOther Name(s): Super Silver Hoya, Silver HoyaScientific Name: Hoya krohniana ‘Super Silver’
