Hoya Krohniana ‘Super Silver’

Rare Silver-Leaf Hoya Houseplant

Highly Reflective Foliage | Collector Favorite | Low-Maintenance Vining Plant

The Hoya ‘Super Silver’ is a true gem in any rare plant collection, prized for its thick, succulent leaves dusted with an almost metallic, silvery sheen. This unique cultivar features more silver than green, with muted veining and a shimmering finish that reflects light beautifully.

Compact, vining, and delightfully low-maintenance, the Super Silver Hoya is perfect for hanging planters, high shelves, or minimalist spaces in need of texture and luster. It’s a slow grower but incredibly rewarding—especially under bright, indirect light where its shine truly pops.

Care Tip for Maximum Silver Shine

To bring out the full shimmer of your Hoya ‘Super Silver’, place it in a spot that receives bright, filtered light for 6–8 hours per day. Avoid direct sun, which can fade the silvery variegation.
