…Unusual Hoya with Silver Frosted Leaves
Hoya lacunosa Silver Frost
Hoya lacunosa Silver Frost (1 m F AbcD)
The leaves have gorgeous silver frosting as the name implies.This miniature trailing vine is adorned by hardish small, glossy lance-shaped leaves and clusters of fuzzy yellow centred white star-flowers, this charming epiphyte enchants the senses. The blossoms release a rich cinnamon fragrance—especially at dusk. It can reach around 1 m in length (hanging habit), thrives in warm, humid climates with bright, indirect light, and does not tolerate frost (F)
Invite this into your space and gain a living perfume diffuser, a collector’s dialog piece, and a mood-lifting focal vine—all with minimal fuss. Its blooms renew seasonally without needing replanting, giving ongoing reward. And here’s a secret few know: its leaves have sunken veins between the ridges (hence “lacunosa”), trapping moisture and enabling it to thrive with light watering.
