Hoya latifolia 'MRH' (Silver) is a selection of Hoya latifolia known for its exceptionally large, substantial foliage and dramatic silver coverage.

The broad, oval to nearly rounded leaves can develop anything from scattered silver splash to an extensive, almost full-silver overlay. Irregular green patches and markings often remain visible through the silver, giving each leaf a different pattern.

One of the especially beautiful characteristics of this selection is its new growth. Young leaves may emerge with pink, rose, or bronze coloration before gradually maturing into their characteristic green and silver tones.

'MRH' is widely circulated as an Indonesian Hoya latifolia selection, although the meaning of the initials and the original collector or introducer do not appear to be clearly documented. Several different silver forms of Hoya latifolia are in cultivation, so we retain the MRH designation as part of this plant's horticultural identity.
