Know before you buy
This plant thrives in bright, indirect light. Placing it near a window with filtered sunlight will help maintain its vibrant silver and pink splash variegation.
You should allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Because Hoyas are susceptible to root rot, it is better to underwater slightly than to let the plant sit in soggy soil.
Yes, the Hoya obovata 'Splash' is non-toxic and pet-friendly, making it a safe choice for households with curious pets.
While you can train it to climb a trellis, its natural cascading habit makes it an excellent choice for hanging baskets or high shelves where its vines can drape freely.
It has a moderate growth rate. With the right amount of bright, indirect light, you can expect steady growth throughout the spring and summer months.
