Hoya crassipetiolata ‘Splash Round’ is a visually striking Hoya known for its thick, obovate leaves adorned with silvery splash patterns. 

Native to

This Hoya is native to tropical regions in Southeast Asia, such as the Philippines and surrounding areas, where it grows as an epiphyte under filtered sunlight. These origins influence its preference for bright, indirect light and well-drained growing mediums that mimic its natural tree-dwelling environment.

Water

Water moderately, allowing the top 1-2 inches of soil to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it’s essential to use a well-draining potting mix and to let any excess water fully drain after watering. In winter, reduce watering frequency, as the plant’s growth slows down in cooler months.

Light

Bright, indirect light is ideal for maintaining the vibrant colour and variegation of the ‘Splash Round’ leaves. Position it near an east or north-facing window, or filter direct light through a sheer curtain if near a sunnier window. Avoid direct midday sun, which can scorch its leaves. Supplement with a grow light if natural light is limited, especially in winter.

Humidity

Hoya crassipetiolata ‘Splash Round’ does well in moderate indoor humidity, around 40-60%. For optimal growth, especially in drier environments, consider misting or using a pebble tray beneath the plant to maintain adequate humidity. However, it adapts well to average indoor conditions without specific humidity adjustments.

Temperature

This Hoya prefers a warm, stable indoor temperature range of 18-27°C (65-80°F). It does not tolerate temperatures below 10°C (50°F), so protect it from drafts and avoid placing it near cold windows or vents during colder months.
