Hoya carnosa 'Wilbur Graves'
Jax's Hoya Carnosa 'Wilbur Graves' is a crown jewel for wax plant collectors. Celebrated for its heavy silver specks and thick, waxy foliage, this slow-growing epiphyte rewards patient growers with clusters of sweet-smelling, porcelain-like star blossoms.
Ships in 1-2 business days with climate-controlled root thermal wraps, custom protective internal sleeves, and built-in moisture reserves.
Standard indoor care: wipe foliage monthly with damp cloth and maintain between 65°F–80°F.
Plant Care & Lighting Science
Every Hoya Carnosa 'Wilbur Graves' (Silver Splash) shipped by Ferny's is acclimated in filtered glasshouses. When positioned in bright indirect, it transpires moisture cleanly without scorching leaf margins. Keep 3 to 6 feet away from unshaded South/West windows.
Substrate, Drainage & Moisture Rhythm
Root rot occurs when water stagnates in un-aerated soils. Our potting configurations use porous chunky bark and perlite blends with custom drainage reservoirs. Always check the top 2 inches with your finger before soaking: Every 10-14 days when succulent leaves soften.
Greenhouse Direct & 30-Day Guarantee
Unlike warehouse middlemen who store foliage in dark fulfillment centers, Ferny's packs each living plant directly inside the nursery. Thermal root insulation protects against weather spikes in transit, guaranteed healthy for 30 full days.
