Hoya Krohniana Arctic

Hoya Krohniana Arctic

Hoya Krohniana Arctic is a rare and visually striking variety known for its small, heart-shaped leaves washed in silvery-white variegation. This cultivar features more extensive silver coverage than its ‘Splash’ sibling, often appearing as if dusted with frost—hence the name ‘Arctic.’ Its compact, trailing growth habit makes it perfect for small pots, hanging planters, or tight shelf spaces.

Under the right conditions, Hoya Krohniana Arctic may reward growers with dainty, star-shaped white flowers with yellow centers, presented in tight umbels along the vine. These blooms are lightly fragrant and a beautiful complement to the silvery foliage. While flowering may be occasional indoors, the foliage alone provides enough visual interest to make this plant a collector’s favorite.

This easy-care Hoya thrives in bright, indirect light and well-draining, chunky soil. Its manageable growth, frosty variegation, and decorative appeal make Hoya Krohniana Arctic a perfect addition for collectors looking to add a touch of cool-toned elegance to their indoor plant lineup.

care instructions

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light; filtered morning sun helps maintain silver variegation while preventing leaf scorch.
Soil Needs: Requires a chunky, well-draining mix; ideal composition includes orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat.
Watering: Water thoroughly when the top 1–2 inches of soil are dry; avoid letting the plant sit in water.
Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity (50–70%); benefits from misting or proximity to a humidifier.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength.
Pruning: Light pruning encourages fuller growth; avoid removing flowering peduncles, as they rebloom.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when roots fill the pot; use fresh soil to maintain airflow and drainage.
