Hoya pubicalyx 'Reva' (super splash) D12 - full pots

Hoya pubicalyx 'Reva' is a vigorous cultivar valued for its narrow, glossy, dark green foliage, irregularly sprinkled with silver splash markings. The silver pattern naturally varies between leaves, so the same plant may simultaneously bear leaves that are almost entirely green and others that are heavily marked. It produces umbels of fragrant, waxy, deep purplish-red flowers. A rewarding houseplant with simple care requirements. The silver splash makes every leaf unique.

Name and origin. Hoya pubicalyx Merr. is an accepted species according to Plants of the World Online, native to the island of Luzon, Philippines, where it grows as a vine in the humid tropical biome. The name was published by Elmer Drew Merrill in 1918 in the Philippine Journal of Science.

'Reva' is a seed-grown selection raised by horticulturist Dale Kloppenburg and named in honor of his mother.

Foliage and growth habit. The leaves are narrow, glossy, and dark green, with irregularly distributed silver spots and splashes. The density of this pattern varies from leaf to leaf and may change as the foliage develops; this variation is part of the selection's appearance. The plant has a vining habit and vigorous growth, while the length and density of the vines vary between plants and batches.

Flowers and fragrance. Mature flowers are grouped in umbels and have deep purplish-red hues, similar to those found in other Hoya pubicalyx selections. They are fragrant, but fragrance intensity and color expression may vary between blooms and depending on growing conditions. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity; plants are shipped according to the stage selected on the product page.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.
