Hoya Nicholsoniae 'New Guinea Ghost' Splash – Unique Silvery Foliage

Native to Papua New Guinea, the Hoya Nicholsoniae 'New Guinea Ghost' is a fast-growing and easy-care plant known for its unique foliage. The silvery green leaves of this Hoya can develop pastel pink or purple tones in bright light.  We've found that our propagations are not as silvery as the mother plant, and currently display splashes of silver on each leaf. With a change in light levels, they may become more silver - however this is not something we can guarantee. Either way, we think our propagated sale plants are stunning, and love the unique contrast between the green leaves, silver splashes, and sun-stressed pinky-purple patches. 

Why Choose Hoya Nicholsoniae 'New Guinea Ghost' Splash?

• Dynamic Colouration: The leaves of this Hoya may shift from green-silvery tones to pastel pink and purple under strong light. Even without heavy silver variegation, the foliage offers a stunning visual contrast.
• Easy Care: This Hoya is low-maintenance and grows quickly, making it a perfect choice for both seasoned plant collectors and beginners.

Care Instructions for Hoya Nicholsoniae 'New Guinea Ghost' Splash

This Hoya follows general care guidelines:

• Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light. Under stronger light, it may develop its pastel pink and purple tones. In lower light, the silver variegation may become more prominent.

Shipping

This plant will be sent in its plastic growing pot

We only ship plants on Mondays. Please order before 2pm on Sunday to ensure your plant will be sent the following Monday. Orders placed after this time MIGHT not be shipped untill the following week.

We only ship plants to non-quarantine states (sorry sorry WA, TAS and NT residents). Shipping of plants is capped at $18.00 per order. This includes the packing materials and labour times. We use recycled packing where possible to reduce our waste and keep cost down, but we ensure that all packing material is sturdy enough to resist damage during transit.

If no one is home to receive your order, the parcel will be left in a safe place. We will not request signature on delivery, as parcels sent back to the post office may not get picked up for days, therefore increasing the amount of stress placed on the plant(s) inside.

This plant can also be picked up from the Northern Wellbeing Centre; 113C miller st, Epping VIC. If you select this option at check-out, we will email you to organise a pick-up time.
