Hoya kerrii ‘Splash’ – H157

Hoya kerrii ‘Splash’ – H157 is a striking form of the much-loved Sweetheart Hoya, producing thick, heart-shaped green leaves decorated with irregular silver splashing.

The reflective silver markings vary naturally from leaf to leaf, giving each plant its own pattern. This is a splash form rather than a yellow-variegated Hoya—the foliage remains predominantly green beneath its silvery surface markings.

Plants are established vines with stems and growing points, allowing them to continue climbing and producing new heart-shaped leaves. Growth can be slow while young, but becomes stronger once the plant is settled and actively climbing.
