Product description
The Hoya ‘Gunung Gading Ghost’ is a collector Hoya loved for its frosty silver “ghost” foliage and beautifully fragrant blooms. It tends to grow best with warmth, strong indirect light, and very airy roots.
Flower Smell
The blooms are usually:
* sweet
* floral
* slightly spicyperfumey
Many growers compare the scent to:
* floral perfume
* honey
* soft spice
* sweet tropical flowers
The fragrance becomes strongest:
* in the evening
* at night
Some clones are more intensely fragrant than others.
Flower Appearance
* Small fuzzy star-shaped flowers
* Usually pink to reddish tones
* Produced in hanging clusters (umbels)
* Can drip nectar when mature
And like all Hoyas:
DO NOT remove old flower spurspeduncles — they rebloom from the same spots repeatedly.
Light
* Bright indirect light is ideal.
* Gentle morning sun helps intensify silver “ghost” coloration.
* Avoid harsh afternoon sun on pale leaves.
Higher light usually produces:
* heavier silvering
* tighter internodes
* better blooming
Water
This Hoya likes drying between waterings.
* Let about 50–75% of the mix dry before watering.
* Water thoroughly, then drain fully.
Signs:
* wrinkled leaves = thirsty
* softyellow leaves = too wet
Soil
Use a chunky airy Hoya mix:
* orchid bark
* perlitepumice
* coco huskchips
* small amount of potting mix
Hoyas LOVE oxygen around their roots.
Humidity
* Thrives around 60–80% humidity.
* Can adapt to average household humidity if airflow is good.
Higher humidity often gives:
* larger leaves
* smoother growth
* cleaner silver coloration
Temperature
* Ideal: 65–85°F
* Avoid temps below 55°F.
Warm roots = much faster growth.
Fertilizer
* Feed lightly during active growth.
* Balanced or orchid fertilizer works great.
* Weak, consistent feeding works better than heavy doses.
Growth Habit
* Usually climbs or trails.
* Benefits from a trellis.
* Leaves often become more dramatic as the plant matures.
Common Problems
Wrinkled leaves
Usually:
* underwatering
* root issues
* damaged roots from staying wet too long
Black spotting
Can happen from:
* cold wet conditions
* edema
* poor airflow
Slow growth
Often caused by:
* insufficient light
* cool temperatures
* overly dense soil
Pro Tip
Ghost Hoyas tend to look their absolute best with:
* strong bright light
* warm conditions
* airy roots
* restrained watering
Too much water is usually the fastest way to make them unhappy.
