This lovely variety of Hoya features soft, silvery green foliage with darker green flecks, creating a beautiful, shimmering effect. As it grows, it gracefully trails and will eventually produce delicately scented clusters of waxy flowers. Whether placed on a shelf or in a hanging basket, the Hoya 'Eskimo' is sure to be enjoyed with its lovely, cascading trails.
Hoya krohniana 'Eskimo' | Wax Plant
Position your Hoya somewhere nice and bright with ideally at least two hours of full sun.
As they originate from tropical climates, they do appreciate high humidity, so growing them in a bathroom or kitchen would be perfect (but not essential!).
It's always best to underwater these plants as they are drought tolerant and store water in their semi-succulent leaves! Water more frequently in the warmer months, and always allow at least 50% of the soil to dry out between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
