Hoya ‘Gray Ghost’ is a special and rarer variety of Hoya (Hoya carnosa), known for its striking silver-colored leaves. The name “Gray Ghost” comes from its almost entirely silvery foliage, with little to no green tones. With proper care, it produces small, fragrant flowers in clusters that are white or slightly pink. The flowers have a sweet, honey-like scent. It is forgiving if occasionally forgotten when watering, making it an excellent choice for beginners. Hoyas are non-toxic and therefore safe for pets.

PLANT CARE

Light     Bright, indirect sunlight, or few hours of direct sun.

Water    in moderation allowing the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry out completely between waterings. In active growth season (spring and summer), water her more frequently  (roughly every 7–10 days, depending on your environment) and in fall and winter, reduce watering as growth slows (every 2–3 weeks, or when the soil is dry).
