Hoya Caudata ‘Argentea’ – Dramatic Silver-Spotted Caudata with Textured Leaves

Hoya caudata ‘Argentea’ is one of the most famous and sought-after forms of Hoya caudata, admired for its heavy silver splashing on dark green, deeply textured leaves. The foliage looks almost hand-painted, with metallic speckles, flecks, and marbled silver patches scattered across the rugged surface.

The leaves are thick, stiff, and heavily veined, often with a slightly rough or crinkled texture that adds to its dramatic appearance. Each leaf develops its own unique silver pattern — from light dusting to bold, almost frosted coverage — making every plant visually exciting.

Growth is climbing to scandent, and this species performs best when trained on a pole, plank, or trellis so the leaves can sit flat and show off their full pattern. Mature plants may produce fuzzy, star-shaped flowers, but Hoya caudata ‘Argentea’ is mainly collected for its spectacular foliage.
