FAQ

Q1: How do I get my Hoya Coriacea (Silver) to bloom?

A1: Provide plenty of bright indirect light, ensure the plant is slightly root-bound in a chunky epiphytic mix, and do not cut off the leafless flower spurs (peduncles), as new blooms grow from them every year.

Q2: Does Hoya Coriacea (Silver) need a trellis?

A2: While it can cascade from a hanging basket, it is an avid climber. Giving it a totem or trellis allows its heavy vines to support themselves, which encourages the plant to grow larger leaves and flower sooner.

Q3: Are the leaves naturally fuzzy or smooth?

A3: The leaves of Hoya coriacea are relatively thin compared to other succulents and have a slightly stiff, leathery texture with a very fine, soft underside, rather than being completely slick.
