Your Mystery Hoya could be a well loved classic or something a little more unusual.

Each plant is healthy, well rooted, and chosen with care, but the exact variety remains a surprise.
This is a great way to start your Hoya adventure or to expand an existing collection without chasing specific names. Mystery Hoyas are especially popular with collectors who enjoy discovering new leaf shapes, textures, and growth habits.
Hoyas are commonly known as Wax Plants due to their thick, waxy leaves and their stunning star shaped flowers, which can appear once the plant is mature and happy. They are naturally easy to care for because they grow as epiphytes in the wild, meaning they cling to trees rather than sitting in heavy soil. This makes them more tolerant of missed watering and ideal for indoor environments.
The genus Hoya is named after Thomas Hoy, an English gardener and botanist from the late 1700s. Since then, Hoyas have become one of the most loved houseplants thanks to their resilience, long lifespan, and huge variety of forms.
Quick Care Guide
☀️ Light: Bright indirect light for best growth and leaf colour
💧 Water: Let the soil dry out slightly between watering
💦 Humidity: Average household humidity is suitable
🌱 Extra tip: Hoyas prefer to be slightly root bound, so avoid frequent repotting
- How often should I water my Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash?
- Allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can harm the plant, so ensure the potting mix is dry to the touch before watering again.
- Is the Hoya Krohniana suitable for hanging planters?
- Absolutely! This plant thrives in hanging planters where its vines can gracefully cascade over the sides, making it a stunning addition to any room with bright, indirect light.
- What type of potting mix should I use for the best growth?
- Use a chunky, well-draining succulent or Hoya potting mix to promote healthy root growth and prevent waterlogging, ensuring a thriving plant.
☀️ Light
☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)
The Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash Wax Plant thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate some direct sunlight, too much can scorch its beautiful leaves. A spot near a window with a sheer curtain would be ideal to filter the light.
💧 Water
💧💧▫️ (Medium)
This plant likes to dry out between waterings. Check the top inch of soil; if it’s dry, it’s time to water. Be cautious not to overwater, as Hoya prefers to be on the drier side rather than soggy.
🌡️️ Temperature
🌡️️🌡️️▫️ (Average)
Hoya Krohniana enjoys typical indoor temperatures, ranging from 18°C to 24°C. Keep it away from draughty areas and sudden temperature changes to avoid stress.
💦 Humidity
💦💦▫️ (Moderate)
This plant prefers moderate humidity but is quite adaptable and can tolerate lower humidity levels found in most homes. For optimal growth, consider misting the leaves or using a humidity tray.
💦 Repotting
Repotting is seldom needed as Hoyas like to be root-bound. Every 2 to 3 years or when the plant has clearly outgrown its pot, repot in spring using a well-draining succulent or Hoya-specific potting mix to encourage health and growth.
🐾 Pet Friendliness
This plant is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a worry-free choice for pet owners.
☀️ Recommended Locations at Home
Perfect for bright windowsills, hanging planters, or as part of a minimalist plant display. Its cascading vines look particularly lovely in spots where they can hang freely.
🌬️🪴 Air Purifying
The Hoya Krohniana is known for its air-purifying qualities, making it not just beautiful but also beneficial for your indoor environment.
✨ Other Plant Features
Known for its slow growth and striking foliage, the Silver Splash adds a touch of elegance to any space. Its resilient nature makes it a long-lived companion that will enrich your home for years to come.
