The Hoya Krohniana, commonly known as a  Silver Splash or wax plant is a member of the Hoya family, famed for its waxy, succulent-like leaves and delightful clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Due to leaves with silvery variegation, the plant is very similar to it Hoya Krohniana (Eskimo).

 

Each Hoya plant is carefully selected from our stock, ensuring that you receive a specimen of exceptional quality. The plants shown in the pictures represent examples of our actual stock, and while each plant is unique, you can expect to receive a plant with similar characteristics.

As a member of the Hoya family, sometimes also called wax plants due to shiny waxy leaves, the plant thrives in bright indirect light. Place it near a window where it can receive plenty of filtered sunlight to ensure its optimal growth and leaf variegation. Hoya can handle also direct morning and after-afternoon sunlight. Water the plant when the soil becomes dry, and be mindful not to overwater as Hoyas prefer well-draining soil.

One of the highlights of the Hoya is its clusters of delicate, star-shaped flowers that usually emit a sweet fragrance. These blooms appear in shades of pink or white, adding a delightful touch to the overall charm of the plant. Currently, our plants are not blooming but in the proper care, you can anticipate the joy of witnessing these beautiful blossoms.

Ideal for beginners or as a birthday or housewarming gift for plant lovers!

 

Pet Friendly

 

How often should I water my Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash?
Water your Hoya when the top inch of soil feels dry. Ensure that excess water drains well, as the plant’s roots prefer not to sit in water. Typically, this might be once a week, but always check the soil moisture level first.
Can the Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash thrive in low light conditions?
While it can survive in medium light, the Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash prefers bright, indirect light to maintain its vibrant leaf variegation and encourage flowering. Lower light levels may reduce the growth and vibrancy of its leaves.
Is the Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash suitable for homes with pets?
Yes, the Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash is pet-friendly. It doesn’t contain toxins that are harmful to cats or dogs, making it a great choice for pet owners who love houseplants.

☀️ Light

☀️☀️▫️ (Medium)

The Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash thrives in bright, indirect light. It can handle some direct morning or late afternoon sunlight, but too much direct sun might scorch its leaves. A spot near a window with filtered light is perfect for this little gem.

💧 Water

💧💧▫️ (Medium)

Water your Hoya when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Ensure the pot has good drainage to prevent waterlogging, as Hoya plants do not like to sit in wet soil. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s crucial to let the soil dry out slightly between waterings.

🌡️ Temperature

🌡️🌡️▫️ (Average)

This plant prefers average room temperatures between 16°C to 24°C. It can tolerate a bit cooler or warmer temperatures, but avoid drastic temperature changes which could stress the plant.

💦 Humidity

💦💦▫️ (Moderate)

Hoya Krohniana Silver Splash enjoys moderate humidity levels, ideally between 60% and 80%. If your home is on the drier side, consider using a humidifier or placing a water tray near the plant to boost the humidity.

🪴 Repotting

This plant generally needs to be repotted every 2-3 years or when it has outgrown its current pot. Use a well-draining potting mix to ensure healthy growth. Spring or early summer is the best time for repotting, as the plant is entering its active growing phase.

🐾 Pet Friendliness

This plant is pet-friendly! Feel free to place it in accessible spots without worrying about the safety of your furry friends.

✅🪴 Recommended Locations at Home

Place your Hoya in areas like living rooms near a window, study areas with dappled sunlight, or any well-lit kitchen. It’s also beautiful as a hanging plant due to its trailing nature.

🌬️🪴 Air Purifying

While Hoyas are not specifically known for their air-purifying abilities, they do contribute to a healthier indoor environment by adding humidity and producing oxygen.

✨ Other Plant Features

The Silver Splash is not only admired for its beautiful foliage but also for the delightful clusters of star-shaped flowers it produces under optimal conditions. These fragrant blooms are a treat to the senses and enhance the aesthetic of any space.
