Hoya 'Menak Sopal Silver' | 2-Inch

Hoya 'Menak Sopal Silver' is the kind of plant that stops collectors in their tracks. This rare Indonesian Hoya is prized for its striking silver-covered foliage that seems to glow under bright light, giving every leaf a frosted, metallic appearance. Offered here as a rooted cutting with new growth in a 2-inch pot, it brings the excitement of owning a truly uncommon collector's plant while still being surprisingly manageable for experienced Hoya growers.

• Origin: An undescribed Hoya species believed to originate from the Trenggalek region of East Java, Indonesia. It was reportedly discovered in 2023 and remains exceptionally rare in cultivation.

• Foliage: Thick, succulent-like leaves with an extraordinary silver coating distributed across the surface rather than simple splash markings. The silvery sheen creates a luminous, frosted appearance that makes the plant stand out even when not in bloom. Leaves are smooth, sturdy, and well-suited to handling occasional drying between waterings.

• Flowers: Produces clusters of warm orange flowers with deep pink to red centers.

• Growth Rate: Moderate to slow-growing, rewarding patient growers with increasingly impressive silver foliage as the plant matures.

• Watering: Allow the potting mix to dry partially between waterings. Like many Hoyas, it appreciates good airflow and does not like sitting in constantly wet soil.

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. For the strongest silver coloration, grow approximately 8 inches below double Barrina T5 lights for about 14 hours daily, or provide similar bright indoor conditions.

• Temperature: Thrives in warm conditions. Current growing conditions are approximately 85°F, though it generally performs well between 65–85°F (18–29°C).

• Humidity: Grows best with elevated humidity. Current growing conditions are approximately 70–75% humidity, though it can adapt to somewhat lower levels once established.

• General Hoya Care: Use a chunky, well-draining mix, provide bright indirect light, avoid overwatering, and maintain good airflow around the plant. For detailed care instructions, visit: https://hoyatreasures.com/pages/caring-for-hoya
