Introducing Hoya ‘Freckled Splash’–a variety of wax vine with large, almond-shaped leaves of dark green that exhibit heavy splashing. This sought-after “splashing” is a silvery flecking caused by air getting trapped in between the leaves, and will be most prominent if you position your ‘Freckled Splash’ in bright, indirect light. On rare occasions, when ‘Freckled Splash’ blooms, you will be greeted with clusters of pale pink flowers with red centers. When your ‘Freckled Splash’ is done blooming, however, be careful not to cut away the spent flower peduncles, as this variety of hoya is a rebloomer.
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Overwatering can cause root rot. Water thoroughly when the top 2 inches of soil are dry.
Soil: Well-draining, airy potting mix is essential. A mix of cactus/succulent soil with perlite or orchid bark works well.
Fertilizer: Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer at half strength. Reduce feeding in fall/winter.
Humidity: Tolerates average indoor humidity, but prefers moderate humidity for optimal growth.
Pruning: Trim long or leggy stems to maintain shape. Remove any dead leaves or flowers.
Propagation: Easily propagated via stem cuttings; roots readily in water or soil.
