Hoya sp. (Menak Sopal, silver)

Lightly rooted cutting of Hoya sp. (Menak Sopal, silver).
Exact plant.

Hoya Hoya sp. (Menak Sopal, silver) is an undescribed collector Hoya reported to originate from the Trenggalek area of East Java, Indonesia.

According to publicly available provenance information, the plant was reportedly discovered in 2023 and later circulated among collectors in Indonesia and Thailand. It has not been formally described or identified to species, so we retain the “sp.” designation.

Its most distinctive feature is the foliage. Leaves can develop an unusually extensive pale silver overlay, sometimes appearing almost completely silver with only fine green speckling or patches remaining. The silver has a soft, frosted appearance rather than the more scattered splash seen on many Hoyas.

The amount and pattern of silver may vary from leaf to leaf, and the appearance of future growth cannot be guaranteed.
