Hoya obovata ‘Splash’

Hoya obovata ‘Splash’ is loved for its thick, rounded leaves decorated with irregular silver flecks and splashes. The deep green foliage has a substantial, waxy texture, creating a beautiful contrast against the silvery markings. Its long vines can cascade from a hanging basket or wind around a trellis for a fuller upright display. With maturity and sufficient light, it can produce rounded clusters of fragrant, pale pink flowers with darker pink centers. The amount of silver naturally varies from leaf to leaf, giving each plant its own distinctive pattern. Its handsome foliage and forgiving nature make it a rewarding addition to a Hoya collection.

☀️ Light

Provide bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sunlight can encourage growth and flowering, but protect the leaves from intense afternoon sun.

💧 Water

Allow the potting mix to dry most of the way before watering thoroughly. Drain excess water completely, and avoid leaving the roots in soggy soil.

🌱 Soil

Use a light, chunky mix containing orchid bark, perlite or pumice, and potting soil. Choose a pot with drainage holes and avoid an oversized container.

🌡️ Temperature

Prefers temperatures between 65°F and 85°F. Protect from frost, cold drafts, and prolonged temperatures below 55°F.

💨 Humidity

Average household humidity is usually sufficient, although moderate humidity supports vigorous growth. Provide good airflow around the foliage.

🪴 Fertilizer

Feed monthly during active growth with a balanced liquid houseplant fertilizer diluted to half strength. Leave old flower spurs intact, as future blooms can develop from the same points.

⚠️ Toxicity

Nontoxic
