Hoya carnosa ‘Freckles’ (Silver Splash) D9

Hoya carnosa 'Freckles' is a cultivar with silver splash on the classic, thick, glossy foliage of Hoya carnosa. The markings are called splash, not variegation. Their intensity and distribution vary from one leaf to another and from one shoot to another. In bright light, the foliage may become lighter. It has a climbing habit and vigorous growth. This batch is the intermediate-sized pot of the same selection, separate from the smaller pot. The flowers are typical of the species: waxy, pink-and-white, fragrant umbels. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and splash. The leaves are thick, glossy, green, and covered with silver dots or splashes. The pattern may be dense on some blades and subtle on others. In intense light, the foliage may become lighter.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers appear in umbels and have a pink-and-white corolla with a darker corona. They are fragrant. The plant may rebloom on old peduncles. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

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