Hoya pubicalyx silver splash 10cm
The Hoya pubicalyx ‘Silver Splash’ is a beautiful, fast-growing tropical Hoya prized for its elongated, glossy green leaves decorated with striking silver splashes and speckles. Each leaf develops its own unique pattern, creating a shimmering effect that makes this variety a favourite among Hoya enthusiasts.
Native to the Philippines, this vigorous Hoya produces long, elegant vines that can be trained around a trellis or allowed to cascade from hanging baskets and shelves. Mature plants can produce spectacular clusters of star-shaped, waxy flowers in shades of pink, red and deep burgundy, often accompanied by a delightful sweet fragrance. A hardy and rewarding addition to any indoor plant collection.
