Hoya Mathilde 'Splash’ Collection 135 (Hoya Carnosa X Hoya Serpens) 10cm Pot

The Hoya Mathilde 'Splash' is a standout cultivar in the vast and varied world of Hoya plants, offering a compelling confluence of aesthetic charm and biological resilience. A hybrid between Hoya Carnosa and Hoya Serpens, this cultivar inherits the best traits from its parent species, making it a particularly interesting cultivar.

The Hoya Mathilde 'Splash' is characterised by its small to medium-sized, succulent-like leaves, which feature a "splashed" pattern of lighter variegation. The plant is also renowned for its delicate, star-shaped flowers, which typically form in umbels and exude a pleasant fragrance.

Relatively undemanding in its care requirements it thrives in bright, indirect light and prefers a well-draining, organic-rich potting mix. Overwatering poses the primary risk of root rot and should be avoided; the soil should be allowed to dry out somewhat between waterings. Though it appreciates higher humidity, the plant is adaptable to average indoor conditions.

Its unique leaf variegation and potential for fragrant blooms make it a focal point in any plant collection, while its hardy nature ensures it is more than just a pretty face.
