release_alert Low Stock - 1 available
This is a large, mature specimen of Hoya obovata variegata ‘Splash’ - H225, with numerous established vines, thick mature foliage and active new growth. Large specimens of this variegated form are rarely available and take years to produce.
You will receive the exact plant photographed. It is supplied established in its hanging basket. Its value reflects its maturity, extensive growth and the time required to develop a specimen of this size.
Variegation and Foliage
This form produces thick, rounded leaves with creamy-yellow central variegation and variable silver splash. The amount and placement of variegation differs naturally from leaf to leaf.
This particular specimen shows a broad range of foliage, including strongly variegated leaves, lightly splashed leaves and sections of mostly green growth. The exact variation present is clearly shown in the photograph and may continue to change as new leaves develop.

Flowers
Hoya obovata variegata ‘Splash’ produces clusters of pink, star-shaped flowers with darker centres. The flowers can have a light, sweet fragrance, particularly during the evening.
This specimen is sold as a mature plant and is not guaranteed to be flowering when purchased or dispatched. Any flowers or developing buds present at the time of photography may finish or drop naturally before the plant is supplied.
Mature Plant Condition
This is a genuine mature specimen rather than a recently produced young plant. It has older stems, bare sections of vine, previous growth points and natural variations in leaf condition.
Some leaves have age-related marks, discolouration, scarring or minor cosmetic damage. These characteristics are visible in the photograph and should be expected in a plant of this age and size. They do not detract from its established nature or value as a difficult-to-replace specimen.
Care
- Light: Bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun can help maintain strong variegation.
- Water: Water thoroughly, then allow the potting mix to partially dry before watering again. Avoid prolonged wet conditions.
- Temperature: Prefers 18–30 °C. Protect from cold drafts and frost.
- Humidity: Average indoor humidity is generally suitable. Good airflow is beneficial.
- Potting mix: Use a chunky, airy and free-draining Hoya mix containing bark, perlite and coco components.
- Support: Allow the vines to trail or provide a strong support for climbing growth.
- Fertiliser: Feed lightly during active growth from spring to early autumn.
Transporting a Large Specimen
We will pack this plant carefully, but its long vines and heavy, succulent leaves cannot be secured as rigidly as those of a small plant. Some leaf loss, displaced vines, cosmetic marking or minor stem damage may occur during transport.
The vines will need to be unpacked carefully and rearranged after arrival. Please consider this before purchasing. Minor cosmetic or transport damage does not affect the established nature or long-term value of the plant.
