Hoya Verticillata ‘Splash’

The Hoya Verticillata ‘Splash’ is a striking variety of the popular Hoya genus, known for its uniquely patterned foliage and trailing growth habit. This cultivar features wide heart shaped leaves with a distinctive variegation that resembles splashes of cream and light green against a darker green backdrop. Its cascading vines make it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or high shelves where its trailing nature can be fully appreciated.

Care Tips:

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch the variegated leaves.

  • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Overwatering may lead to root rot.

  • Humidity: Thrives in moderate to high humidity but adapts well to average indoor conditions.

  • Temperature: Keep in a range of 60-80°F (15-27°C). Protect from drafts and sudden temperature drops.

  • Soil: Use a well-draining mix; a combination of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark works well.

  • Feeding: Fertilize monthly during the growing season with a balanced, diluted houseplant fertilizer.

The Hoya Verticillata ‘Splash’ is a resilient and visually captivating houseplant, perfect for adding texture and color to indoor spaces while requiring minimal maintenance. Its subtle leaf variegation and elegant form make it a favorite among both beginners and experienced plant enthusiasts.
