In our nursery we have various forms of one plant. Plants are living beings and so they are sometimes different. Variations in color and size are therefore possible.

The pictures shown with our products are sample pictures. These photos give a true picture of what the plant may look like when properly cared for. The specifications are leading for the plant received. Please read the characteristics carefully before ordering.

What are sample images?

We have an extremely large, extensive assortment with thousands of plants. In addition, because specific plants change in shape, color and size on a weekly basis, it is impossible for our small team to capture all specific plants. Each plant grows in a unique way, so it is perfectly normal that there may be differences in color, shape and size.

But because we do want to communicate clearly to you what to expect with a product, we have specifications for each plant that will give you a clear picture of what to expect.

It is therefore rare that you will receive the exact plant shown in the picture. If this is the case, it will be explicitly mentioned in the product description. Our goal is to ensure that you have a pleasant, green shopping experience and that you can shop with us worry-free.

For people who like to browse among the plants, we have a physical store. Check the contact page for opening hours and more info.

Description

Hoya 'Nova Ghost' is a striking and rare cultivar within the hoya's, known for its almost silvery leaf color and waxy, star-shaped flowers. Its unique leaf markings and elegant growth form make it a popular species among collectors of unusual houseplants.

Origin

Although the exact origin of this cultivar is not fully established, it is believed that Hoya 'Nova Ghost' is a selection or crossing within the Hoya carnosa-group. These plants are native to Southeast Asia, where they grow as epiphytes in forests with ample shade, high humidity and good air circulation.

Characteristics

Some Nova Ghost makes it so special are its leaves: they are oval to oblong, fleshy, and often silver-gray or silver-green in color, with an almost ghostly sheen - hence the name "Ghost." As the plant ages or receives more light, a subtle green or pink glow may appear in the leaves. When properly cared for, the plant produces fragrant, star-shaped flowers in compact umbels (umbels), usually white with a pink center.

Care

Hoya 'Nova Ghost' is relatively easy to care for, as long as the basic requirements are followed properly.

Stand

A bright spot with plenty of indirect sunlight. Direct morning sun is welcome, but avoid bright afternoon sun that can burn the leaves.

Temperature

Between 18°C and 28°C. This plant does not like cold drafts or temperatures below 12°C.

Water

Allow the top layer of the substrate to dry thoroughly between waterings. Do not water again until the pot feels light.

Humidity

Moderate to high (50-70%). Regular spraying helps, especially with low humidity in winter.

Substrate

Use an aerated and well-draining mixture, such as a combination of orchid bark, perlite and peat or coir fiber.

Nutrition

During spring and summer, feed monthly with a balanced plant food, preferably with extra calcium and magnesium, some hoya's appreciate.

Climbing Aid

This hoya likes to attach to a rack or moss stick, which can encourage flowering.

With its mysterious leaf color and quiet growth pattern, it is Hoya 'Nova Ghost' a subtle eye-catcher that looks great in a bright interior corner.
