Hoya ‘Chiang Dao’ Silver

The Hoya ‘Chiang Dao’ Silver is a stunning and sought-after epiphytic vine, celebrated for its lance-shaped leaves that are heavily mottled with shimmering silver splash. A relatively new introduction to the hobby, this Hoya originates from the Chiang Dao region of Thailand and is prized by collectors for its unique foliage and elegant growth habit.

Quick Care

Placement: Bright, indirect light; can tolerate some morning sun.

Light: High indirect light to maintain intense silver variegation.

Water: Allow the top half of the substrate to dry completely between waterings; succulent-like leaves store water.

Soil: An airy, chunky orchid bark or aroid mix is essential.

Temp: Prefers warm temperatures between 65-85°F.

Humidity: Thrives in 60% humidity or higher.

Feeding: Apply a balanced liquid fertilizer monthly during the growing season.

About This Plant

Hoya ‘Chiang Dao’ Silver is a fast-grower once established, producing long vines that love to climb a trellis or trail beautifully from a hanging basket. Its leaves are thicker than many other Hoya species, featuring a dark green base almost entirely obscured by silvery-white flecks.

Tips

Avoid overwatering, as this variety is sensitive to wet feet. To encourage flowering, ensure it receives adequate light and matures in a slightly root-bound pot. For more tips follow us on Instagram @hiddenseedco
