Hoya Mathilde 'Splash' D9 - fragrant
Hoya carnosa 'Mathilde' is the compact horticultural hybrid resulting from the cross between Hoya carnosa and Hoya serpens. This batch bears the Splash label: its small, rounded, firm foliage has denser silver splashes than the usual form of the cultivar. The same pot may contain vines with intense variegation and vines with more subtle splash. Its growth habit is trailing or climbing. Under good growing conditions, it produces umbels of small, white to pink, finely pubescent flowers with a sweet fragrance.
Foliage and splash. The leaves are small, fleshy, almost round, green, and densely arranged on slender vines. The silver markings vary in size and density. A pot may combine vines with heavy splash and vines with normal splash. Shoot length varies from one specimen to another. The price is for a single pot containing multiple plants.
Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and finely pubescent, ranging from creamy white to pale pink, and grouped in umbels. The fragrance is sweet. Color, flower count, and fragrance intensity may vary. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.
Identity. The established horticultural name is Hoya carnosa 'Mathilde'. Splash describes the density of the silver splashes in this batch. Both parent species are botanically accepted. The hybrid originated in cultivation, not as a naturally occurring population.
The decorative pot is not included in the price.
Substrate: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
