Hoya pubicalyx Super Splash

An easy care vine featuring stunning silvery variegated foliage, Hoya pubicalyx Super Splash is also known as Wax Flower or Porcelain Flower. This hardy climbing vine has fleshy succulent type leaves and shows off long lasting clusters of fragrant starry waxlike flowers. This tropical climber shows off deep green leaves heavily flecked with silver and is a beautiful indoor plant for cooler climates. In warmer climates Hoya will cope with a sheltered position outdoors, preferably in a shaded or dappled light situation.

Hoyas prefer a well lit position away from direct sunlight and a well drained soil but being a tropical plant they do require humidity to grow well. Regular misting when the plants are not in flower will be appreciated, but care needs to be taken not to overwater, particularly during the cooler months.

Hoyas are extremely long lived and have been a firm favourite with indoor plant enthusiats for many years due to the level of neglect that these plants can tolerate. Hoyas dislike being disturbed so they are a perfect set and forget type of plant. Select a well drained pot and use a potting mix with large pieces similar to Orchid mix. Take care not to fertilise too much as this will discourage these light feeders to flower. Ensure plants are watered occasionally, especially in Winter, but do not let the plants become overdry as this will damage their roots.
