Its highly fragrant white flowers bloom in clusters throughout the year, filling your home with a sweet, delightful scent reminiscent of Hoya lacunosa. This easy-to-grow houseplant is perfect for hanging baskets, where its trailing vines can create a stunning display. With its unique foliage and enchanting aroma, the Silver Splash Hoya is a must-have for plant enthusiasts seeking an attractive and low-maintenance addition to their collection.
Best Locations For Growing Silver Splash Hoya
The Silver Splash Hoya thrives in living rooms, bedrooms, or offices where it can receive bright indirect light. Its cascading vines make it ideal for hanging baskets or placed on shelves where it can trail gracefully. While generally non-toxic, it's wise to keep this plant out of reach of pets and children to prevent any potential mild irritation if ingested.
Silver Splash Hoya Sunlight Requirements
This plant prefers bright indirect light and benefits from a bit of morning or late afternoon sun. An east or north-facing window is perfect, providing gentle sunlight that enhances the foliage's silver splashes without causing leaf burn. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch the leaves and affect the plant's overall health.
Silver Splash Hoya Care
Plant your Silver Splash Hoya in a well-draining soil mix suitable for epiphytic plants, such as a blend of peat moss and perlite or a specialized orchid mix. Use a pot with drainage holes to prevent waterlogging, as this plant prefers a drier root environment. It can live for years in the same pot, making it a low-maintenance choice. Prune after the flowering cycle to control excessive growth, but avoid removing old flower spurs since new blooms often emerge from them.
Watering Silver Splash Hoya
Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, typically every 10-14 days depending on your home's conditions. Water thoroughly until excess water drains from the bottom, ensuring the roots are well-hydrated. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's important to let the soil reach a state of visual dryness before watering again. The Silver Splash Hoya tolerates average household humidity but appreciates slightly cooler night temperatures to encourage blooming.
Feeding Silver Splash Hoya
Fertilize monthly during the active growing season in spring and summer with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. A formula like 15-15-15 or a blooming fertilizer such as 7-9-5 works well. Discontinue feeding during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
