Hoya verticillata 'Nganjuk Splash'
Hoya verticillata 'Nganjuk Splash' is a collector's cultivar distinguished by its firm leaves, well-defined veins, and variable silver pattern. “Nganjuk Splash” identifies the horticultural material and the appearance of the foliage. The silver areas are splash. Each leaf may develop its own pattern distribution against the dark green background. The foliage and flowers make it a suitable choice for apartments. Each leaf has its own pattern.
Foliage and growth. The leaves are thick, waxy, elliptic to ovate, with an easily visible network of veins. The splash can range from fine speckles to larger silver areas, and its intensity is not identical on all leaves. The plant has a climbing habit and forms long vines, suitable for training on a support or for trailing growth.
Flowers and fragrance. It produces umbels of waxy, creamy-white flowers with a pink to purplish-red center. The flowers are fragrant; the intensity and character of the fragrance 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, from the Indian subcontinent and southern China to Indochina and western and central Malesia. The trade name “Nganjuk Splash” designates the foliage selection; it has not been confirmed as a formally registered cultivar.
Substrate: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
