Hoya verticillata 'Wayang Splash'

Hoya verticillata 'Wayang Splash' is a collector’s cultivar, distinguished by its firm leaves, well-defined veins, and variable silver patterning. “Wayang Splash” identifies the horticultural material and foliage appearance. The silver areas are splash variegation. Each leaf may develop its own pattern distribution against the dark green background. The foliage and flowers make it a suitable choice for an apartment. Each leaf has its own unique pattern.

Foliage and growth. The leaves are thick, waxy, elliptic to ovate, with a clearly visible network of veins. The splash variegation can range from fine speckles to larger silver areas, and its intensity is not identical on every leaf. The plant has a climbing habit and produces long vines, suitable for training on a support or growing as a trailing plant.

Flowers and fragrance. It produces umbels of waxy, cream-white flowers with a pink to purplish-red center. The flowers are fragrant; the fragrance’s intensity and character vary depending on the selection, the age of the flowers, and growing conditions. Bud formation depends on the plant’s maturity.

Botanical identity and origin. The accepted botanical name is Hoya verticillata (Vahl) G.Don. It is an epiphytic species with a very broad range, extending from the Indian subcontinent and southern China to Indochina and western and central Malesia. The trade name “Wayang Splash” refers to the foliage selection; it has not been confirmed as a formally registered cultivar.

Plant supplied. The price is for one pot containing 2–3 plants at different stages of development. Long vines are brittle and may be damaged during handling or transport. Available specimens may have leaves with cosmetic imperfections. The shape, vine length, and splash distribution naturally vary from one specimen to another.

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