Hoya 'Krohniana Super Silver'

Super Silver Hoya (Hoya krohniana ‘Super Silver’), also known as Silver Hoya, is native to the humid lowland forests of the Philippines, where it grows as an epiphyte among shaded tree branches. The air is dense with moisture, and sunlight filters softly through the canopy, illuminating its metallic foliage in fleeting, silvery flashes.

This rare and highly sought-after variety is known for its small, heart-shaped leaves that appear almost entirely silver, with faint traces of green veining beneath the surface. The reflective sheen gives the plant a lustrous, metallic quality—each leaf resembling a polished mirror of light. Growth is slow but deliberate, forming dense vines that trail or climb gracefully when supported.

When mature, Hoya krohniana ‘Super Silver’ produces clusters of delicate, waxy flowers—white with a subtle fragrance that drifts through warm, still air. Though its blooms are modest, they stand in elegant contrast to the foliage’s cool, gleaming tones.

In cultivation, it prefers bright, indirect light, high humidity, and well-draining soil. Patient care reveals its quiet refinement—an understated species that captures light as though it were part of its own design.
