With time and the right care, it produces clusters of fragrant white flowers, adding to its appeal as a low-maintenance collector’s gem.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive heart-shaped foliage with glittery silver splashes
✔ Compact trailing growth – perfect for shelves or hanging pots
✔ May bloom with sweetly scented white flowers in mature plants
✔ A favourite for Hoya collectors and beginners alike
✔ Easy-care and drought-tolerant once established

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – a little morning sun helps deepen variegation

• Watering: Let the soil dry out between waterings – water sparingly in winter

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate humidity (50–60%) but tolerates standard indoor levels

• Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix (perlite, orchid bark, and light compost)

• Feeding: Fertilise every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with a gentle orchid or Hoya fertiliser

• Temperature: Ideal range is 18–26°C – avoid cold draughts

• Growth Habit: Naturally cascading – pinch tips to encourage bushier growth

🌿 Tip: Hoyas prefer being slightly root-bound – don’t rush to repot, and avoid overwatering.
