Hoya crassipetiolata 'Splash' D9

Hoya crassipetiolata 'Splash' is a cultivar with firm, glossy foliage and silver markings along the veins. The intensity and distribution of the spots vary from one leaf to another and from one specimen to another. It has a climbing habit, with flexible vines, while the tips can be brittle during handling or shipping. The raised veins give it a distinctive texture. An easy-to-love cultivar.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are elliptical and thick, with robust petioles—a characteristic that gave the species its name. The veins form a reticulated pattern accentuated by the silver areas. In good light, the foliage becomes more contrasting. Each pot contains 2–3 plants at different stages of development. The long vines are brittle and may be damaged during shipping or handling.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are described as subtly fragrant. The color and intensity of the fragrance may vary depending on growing conditions. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Botanical identity and origin. The accepted botanical name is Hoya crassipetiolata Aver., V.T.Pham & T.A.Le, published in 2017. The species is native to Vietnam. Hoya hainanensis is a separate accepted species. Commercial labels such as Da Nang or DaNang Vietnam indicate the origin of the horticultural material, not a different botanical name.

Substrate: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
