Hoya crassipetiolata 'Splash Round' D6

Hoya crassipetiolata 'Splash Round' is a cultivar with more rounded leaves than the species' usual elliptical form and with a silver splash pattern on the foliage. The splash is the silver pattern between the veins. The intensity and distribution of the markings vary from one leaf to another and from one shoot to another. It has a climbing habit, with thick petioles. The rounded leaves are its distinctive feature. Each leaf has its own unique pattern.

Foliage and growth. The veins remain green and define irregular silver areas. The petioles are robust, a feature that gave the species its name. The tips of the vines are brittle and may be damaged during transport or handling. There is no cream-white margin or center.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers of this species are small and white, sometimes with greenish or pale pink tones, grouped in umbels. Horticultural sources describe them as subtly fragrant; their color and intensity may vary depending on growing conditions. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. 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. The labels Da Nang or DaNang Vietnam indicate the origin of the horticultural material. 'Splash Round' is a batch label for rounded leaves with a splash pattern.
