The Formal Name: Hoya parasitica 'Splash' (syn. Hoya verticillata)

Roots: A widespread and hardy species native to Southeast Asia and the Pacific Islands.

Care Guide

Care Guide:

Sunlight: She craves bright, indirect light! Higher light levels will make her silver "splashes" more intense and encourage heavy blooming.

Best Room: A bright living room window or a sun-filled office.

Snacks: A balanced Hoya or orchid fertiliser every 4 weeks during the growing season.

Tropical Feels: Appreciates humidity (50%+) but is very adaptable to normal indoor air.

Cosy Factor: Thrives in warmth (18–27°C). She’s very hardy and forgiving of temperature shifts.

Thirst: Let the top half of the soil dry out. She’s a succulent-type Hoya and hates being soggy.

Safety First: Non-toxic – safe for pets and children.

The Bedding: An extremely airy, chunky mix with plenty of bark and perlite.

Family Tree: Super easy to propagate via stem cuttings in water, moss, or perlite.

Space Needs: A vigorous climber that can trail or climb for 2 metres or more!

Speed: A moderate to fast grower—she’s built for expansion!

Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs hiding in the leaf axils.

Moving Day: Repot every 2–3 years once she truly outgrows her current space.

Haircut: Never cut off the peduncles—she’ll bloom from them again and again!

Fresh Air: A beautiful, hardy, and efficient natural air-purifying vine.

Plant Lore: Her flowers are famous for their intense, sweet fragrance that can fill an entire room in the evening!
