Hoya krohniana 'Arctic' (often sold as 'Eskimo' or 'Super Silver') is a striking, compact tropical vine native to the Philippines, prized for its heart-shaped, silvery-white leaves. The extensive silver dusting gives the foliage a frozen or snowy appearance.
Care at a Glance: Bright, indirect light is essential. It needs plenty of filtered light to maintain its vibrant silver variegation without causing leaf scorch.
Water: Water when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Allow it to dry out slightly between waterings, as it acts similarly to a succulent and is prone to root rot if overwatered.
Soil: Use a very loose, well-draining mix—such as a blend of orchid bark, perlite, and a peat-based potting soil.
Temperature: Keep in a draft-free environment between 60°F and 85°F (16-29°C), ensuring the plant is never subjected to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
You will receive an established starter plant in a 2 inch pot.
