Hoya carnosa ‘Silver Moon’ (AH-074)

Hoya carnosa ‘Silver Moon’ (AH-074) features large, deep green leaves generously covered in splashes of silvery variegation. The plant grows as a trailing or twining vine, suited to hanging baskets or high shelves, and is ideal for collectors of rare and decorative Hoyas.

Features:

• Bold silvery-variegated foliage: large leaves with silver splashes that contrast with the green base.

• Trailing/climbing habit that allows it to drape gracefully or climb when provided support.

• Produces attractive star-shaped flowers in umbels, enhancing its appeal beyond just foliage.

• Rare and collectible variant (AH-074), which adds to its desirability in the plant community.

Care Tips:

• Light: Bright, indirect light is best. Avoid strong direct midday sun which may scorch the leaves.

• Watering: Allow the soil surface to become dry to the touch before watering again. It is semi-succulent in nature and dislikes consistently soggy roots.

• Soil / Medium: Use a well-draining, airy substrate (e.g., orchid bark + perlite or similar mixes) to mimic its epiphytic habit.

• Temperature & Humidity: Prefers warm indoor temperatures (about 60–85 °F / ~15–29 °C) and moderate humidity. Avoid cold drafts.

• Display: Because of its trailing habit and decorative foliage, hanging pots or elevated locations where vines can spill are recommended.

• Variegation Note: While the silver variegation is prized, the pattern may vary in intensity among individuals.
