Hoya Verticillata Splash Mother

Hoya Verticillata 'Splash' is a striking collector's vining Hoya prized for its elongated, lance-shaped leaves adorned with silver speckles — the "splash" variegation that gives this cultivar its name. Leaves emerge in whorls along trailing stems, creating a lush, cascading effect ideal for hanging planters or trained trellises. A rewarding bloomer, it produces clusters of delicate, star-shaped flowers with a subtle sweet fragrance when mature and given proper light.

Care Guide

• Light — Bright indirect light; tolerates some morning direct sun. Avoid harsh afternoon sun which can bleach the splash patterning.
• Water — Allow the top 1–2" of soil to dry between waterings. Hoyas are semi-succulent; overwatering is the primary cause of decline.
• Humidity — Prefers 50–70% humidity. Thrives in a humid environment but adapts well to average household conditions.
• Soil — Well-draining, chunky mix (e.g., perlite + orchid bark + potting mix). Excellent drainage is non-negotiable.
• Temperature — 60–85°F (15–29°C). Protect from drafts and temps below 50°F.
• Fertilizer — Feed monthly during spring/summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength. Reduce or stop in fall/winter.
• Repotting — Prefers to be slightly root-bound; repot only when roots are visibly escaping drainage holes.
• Toxicity — Non-toxic to humans and pets. ✓
