Hoya parasitica 'Heart Leaf Splash'

Hoya parasitica 'Heart Leaf Splash', also marketed under the classification Hoya verticillata 'Heart Leaf Splash', is a cultivar prized for its thick, heart-shaped leaves with prominent veins and silver splash markings. The density of the silver pattern naturally varies from leaf to leaf, giving each plant its own unique appearance. A plant appreciated for its natural beauty. Its leaves and flowers make it easy to fall in love with.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are green, waxy, and clearly defined in a heart shape, with reflective silver spots or areas. The plant has a vining habit and can be trained onto a support or allowed to trail. Splash markings may be finer or more extensive on new growth, and this variation does not indicate a cultivation problem.

Flowers and fragrance. It produces umbels of waxy, creamy-white flowers with centers ranging from pink to purplish pink. The flowers are fragrant and described in horticultural sources as having a sweet, spicy note. Fragrance intensity may vary depending on the time of day and growing conditions.

Botanical identity and origin. The name Hoya parasitica is widely used in horticulture. The complex has a broad range, extending from the Indian subcontinent and southern China through Indochina and western and central Malesia; the 'Heart Leaf Splash' selection should not be presented as endemic only to Thailand and Vietnam.

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