Hoya Mathilde Splash 8" HB Mother

Meet the Hoya Mathilde Splash, a hybrid of Hoya carnosa and Hoya serpens that packs big personality into a trailing vine. Its small, thick, rounded leaves are dusted with silvery splash markings that catch the light, and happy plants reward you with clusters of fuzzy, star-shaped blush-pink flowers with a sweet fragrance.

This is a full, mature 8" hanging basket mother plant, ready to spill over a shelf or hang in a bright window from day one.

Care guide

• Light: Bright, indirect light. More light brings out stronger splash and encourages blooms. A few hours of gentle morning sun is great; avoid harsh afternoon sun.
• Water: Let the soil dry out almost completely between waterings, then water thoroughly. The thick leaves store water, so it's better to underwater than overwater.
• Soil: Chunky, fast-draining mix, like orchid bark, perlite, and a little potting soil.
• Humidity: Average household humidity is fine; it appreciates a boost above 50%.
• Temperature: 60–85°F. Keep away from cold drafts below 50°F.
• Feeding: Diluted balanced fertilizer monthly in spring and summer.
• Blooms: Don't cut off the spurs (peduncles) after flowering. Hoyas rebloom from the same spot.
