Meet Hoya verticillata 'Silver Heart'—a wax plant with thick heart-shaped leaves and a beautiful silver sheen. It is a collector Hoya that rewards bright light, a small pot and patient watering, rather than constant fussing.

  • The Formal Name: Hoya verticillata 'Silver Heart'
  • The Nickname: Silver Heart Hoya
  • Roots: A selected form of Hoya verticillata, grown for succulent foliage and silver-marked leaves.
  • Natural Vibe: Warm epiphytic vine care: bright indirect light, airy roots and drying between waterings.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: Bright indirect light is best, with gentle morning sun if acclimatised. More light helps Hoyas mature and flower.
  • Best Room: A bright shelf, hanging pot or warm window area out of harsh midday sun.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly through spring and summer; avoid heavy feed in winter.
  • Tropical Feels: Enjoys moderate to high humidity, but airflow matters more than misting.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep 16–26°C and avoid cold wet roots.
  • Thirst: Let the mix dry partly before watering. Thick leaves store moisture, so do not keep it constantly wet.
  • Safety First: Usually a pet-friendlier choice, but still best kept away from curious pets to avoid chewed leaves and upset stomachs.
  • The Bedding: Use a chunky Hoya mix with bark, perlite and coir/compost for airy roots.
  • Family Tree: Stem cuttings with nodes root in warm bright conditions.
  • Space Needs: Can trail or climb; give a hoop or trellis for a tidy display.
  • Speed: Slow to moderate, with bursts in warm bright months.
  • Uninvited Guests: Mealybug and scale can hide along vines and leaf joints.
  • Moving Day: Hoyas prefer being slightly snug; repot only when necessary.
  • Haircut: Avoid removing old flower spurs/peduncles, as Hoyas can rebloom from them.
  • Fresh Air: Warm airflow prevents stale dampness around thick leaves.
  • Plant Lore: Hoyas are often called wax plants because of their thick, glossy leaves and porcelain-like flower clusters.
