• Origin: Hoya ‘Grey Fairy’ is an officially established cultivar that originated as a spontaneous sport of Hoya ‘Mathilde’ (a hybrid of Hoya carnosa × Hoya serpens). The cultivar was first selected and stabilized in China. Authoritative cultivar information: Hoya Cultivars Registry – Hoya ‘Grey Fairy’.

• Foliage: Features small, rounded, thick, succulent-like leaves covered in stable silver-white coloration. The heavily silvered foliage gives the entire plant a luminous, frosted appearance that remains attractive even when the plant is not in bloom.

• Flowers: As a descendant of Hoya ‘Mathilde’, it produces clusters of star-shaped flowers typical of its parentage.

• Growth Rate: Generally considered a moderate to fast grower once established, benefiting from the vigorous growth habit inherited from Hoya ‘Mathilde’.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to approach dryness between waterings. Like most Hoyas, its thick leaves store moisture, helping it tolerate occasional missed waterings.

• Light: Thrives in bright indirect light. This plant is currently grown approximately 8 inches below double Barrina T5 lights for 14 hours per day.

• Temperature & Humidity: Currently thriving at approximately 75°F with 62% humidity. Warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity encourage the best growth and foliage development.

• General Care: Use a chunky, well-draining Hoya mix, avoid overwatering, fertilize lightly during active growth, and provide support for climbing vines if desired. For detailed care information, visit Hoya Care Guide.
