Hoya macrophylla 'Silver Splash'

The silver spots sit on green tissue; they are not white-cream areas without chlorophyll. The pattern is splash, not variegation. The density of the silver varies from one leaf to another. The growth habit is vining. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity. The green tissue remains pigmented; the silver is a metallic splash across the leaf blade. Care is simple, and the plant grows steadily. Its leaves and flowers make it easy to fall in love with.

Foliage and splash. The leaves are broad, elliptical, firm, with distinct veins that segment the leaf blade. The background remains green; the silver appears as irregular spots, not as a border or a cream-colored center. The density of the splash varies from one leaf blade to another. The growth habit is vining. Shoot length varies from one specimen to another.

Flowers and fragrance. The species’ flowers are small, star-shaped, and grouped in umbels. The number of flowers per umbel and their shades may vary. Flowering is not guaranteed at the time of purchase.

Identity. The sales name remains Hoya macrophylla 'Silver Splash'. The accepted species is Hoya macrophylla Blume, an epiphytic species native from Vietnam and western Malesia to the Lesser Sunda Islands (Borneo, Java, Sumatra, Malaya). 'Silver Splash' describes the silver splash, not variegation. Similar material is also sold as Hoya latifolia Silver Splash. The title remains unchanged.

Each pot contains several cuttings at different stages of development.

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