Hoya krohniana 'Eskimo', also known as the Eskimo Hoya, is a highly desirable, compact tropical trailing vine native to Southeast Asia. This cultivar is famous for its small, heart-shaped, succulent-like leaves heavily speckled with silvery-white variegation. Under bright indirect light, it produces beautiful round clusters of fuzzy, star-shaped white flowers that emit a sweet fragrance, making it a favorite among collectors.

💚 Care Instructions

Use a chunky, fast-draining mix like orchid bark, coco chips, perlite, and coco peat. Avoid overpotting to prevent root rot. Do not remove old flower spurs, as Hoyas bloom repeatedly from the same spurs.

☀️ Light & Water Needs

• Light: Bright, indirect light is ideal. A few hours of gentle morning sun will encourage flowering, but avoid harsh afternoon sunlight.
• Water: Allow the top 2–3 cm of the potting mix to dry before watering. Water thoroughly, then let excess water drain away completely.

📏 Size & Dimensions

A compact trailing plant with stems that can cascade 30-60 cm long, ideal for hanging baskets or small shelves.

🌍 Origin

Native to the warm tropical rainforests of the Philippines and Southeast Asia.

🙋 Frequently Asked Questions

A: Provide plenty of bright, indirect sunlight. Low light conditions may cause new foliage to revert back to solid green.

Q: How often should I water my Hoya Eskimo?
A: Water only when the potting mix is almost dry. Hoyas are succulents and hold water in their leaves, making them prone to rot if overwatered.

Q: Is this Hoya pet-friendly?
