Hoya ‘Silver Dollar’ MB1405-A (sun stressed) | rooted
98.90 € – 114.90 €
This is one of my most prized plants, Hoya ‘Silver Dollar’ MB1405-A. It’s more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. It’s a truly gorgeous plant that stands out among the others.
Mike Bernardo is the original cultivator of this plant. This one is often sold as MB1405-AG or other weird variations. A version of this plant which has begun to revert back to a more green “splash” version of this Hoya is often sold as MB1405-AG(B) but Mr. Bernardo has stated that he has no idea who added the letter “G” to the original ascension number and it is unrelated to the original Hoyas he cultivated.
There are two Hoya crosses from one seed pod: Hoya ‘Silver Dollar’ MB1405-A and its sister plant, Hoya ‘Penny’s Treat’ MB1405-B.
The leaves of these Hoya cuttings are very sun stressed from grow lights, causing their red coloration. New leaves will not have red hue unless the plant is grown in very bright, direct light.

Hoyas need potting mix with quick drainage that can provide good air circulation around the roots. This Hoya can withstand a little dryness between waterings but don’t let it go too long as the leaves are fairly thin. Potting mixes that retain too much moisture for too long will rot the roots. Typical potting mixes for Hoyas contain perlite, tree bark for orchids, cactus and succulent potting mix, coco coir, or sand among other ingredients, but dense substrates like peat are used in moderation to prevent moisture retention. Unless of course you go semi-hydro. I’m not here to tell you what to do. All of my plants are grown in Lechuzapon.
