☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with a sheer curtain to filter intense sunlight, which can scorch its delicate leaves.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
Allow the soil to nearly dry out between waterings. Over-watering can lead to root rot, so ensure the pot has good drainage. Water less frequently during the winter months.
🌡️ Temperature
🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)
This plant prefers average room temperatures between 18-24°C. Avoid placing it near drafts or heat sources which can cause stress.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
While this Hoya appreciates humidity, it is quite adaptable. Aim for 60-80% humidity for optimal growth. Occasional misting or a pebble tray can help increase humidity levels.
🪴 Repotting
Use a well-draining succulent potting mix to ensure healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging. Consider repotting every 2-3 years to refresh the soil and provide room for growth.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic and safe for pets. It’s a great addition to households with curious cats and dogs!
🏠 Recommended Locations at Home
Ideal spots include well-lit kitchens, living rooms, or offices with indirect sunlight. Its trailing nature makes it perfect for hanging baskets or high shelves.
