Hoya krohniana 'Eskimo'

  • Product Info

    A compact, trailing Hoya with thick, heart-shaped leaves dusted in silver. Its unique, shimmering foliage adds texture and charm to any space. Perfect for shelves, hanging planters, or small decorative pots. With the right care, it produces clusters of small, fragrant star-shaped flowers.

  • Care guide:

    Watering:
    Hoya 'Eskimo' prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. Water thoroughly when the top inch or two of soil feels dry to the touch, then let the excess drain out. It's important not to let the plant sit in standing water, as this can lead to root rot. During winter, reduce the watering frequency since the plant’s growth naturally slows.

    Light:
    This Hoya does best in bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning sunlight can be beneficial, but avoid strong midday sun which can scorch the leaves. In low light conditions, growth may slow and the plant may become leggy. If natural light is limited, a grow light can help maintain healthy foliage.

    Soil:
    A light, well-draining mix is ideal. You can use a blend of cactus soil with added perlite and orchid bark to improve aeration. Drainage is key, so make sure your pot has holes at the bottom to prevent soggy roots.

    Tips:
    Hoya 'Eskimo' is slow-growing and doesn’t need frequent repotting—every couple of years is usually enough. It's easily propagated from stem cuttings, and you can either trail it from a hanging pot or let it climb a small trellis. Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests like spider mites and mealybugs, and clean the leaves occasionally to help keep them healthy.
