Hoya Carnosa AH-074 (Silver)

Hoya carnosa AH-074 (Silver) is yet another rare Hoya cultivar; rare cultivars are known as collector’s hoyas. The stunning collector's Hoya called as "Silver" is distinguished by its half-moon shape and highly variegated silver foliage. Each fresh leaf is a mystery for people who adore variegation, which makes this variety rewarding to grow. It thrives when growing on a pole or trellis, like the majority of Hoyas. It is considered to be a hybrid of the Hoya Carnosa cultivar “Grey Ghost” and Hoya pubicalyx. This hoya also tends to bloom relatively early, putting out pink flowers with a maroon centre

Unlike other hoya cultivars, this Hoya reverts easily, meaning that it loses its variegation if conditions are not ideal. collectors tend to cut off reverted leaves and place in front of a fans, as air circulation helps this hoya to establish its variegation patterns.  While considered relatively low maintenance, it needs some care to get established. Once established and rooted, Hoya carnosa AH-074 (Silver) requires little maintenance, especially when watering and maintaining humidity levels are concerned.

All hoyas generally dislike being watered on a regular basis, and thrive in dry conditions. However, it is vital that your hoya must not dry out. A good chunky plant mix is great for this Hoya
