Hoya ‘Mathilde Splash’

Description

Say hello to ‘Mathilde Splash’, a stunning hybrid hoya with no shortage of freckles and speckles! ‘Mathilde’ sends out dainty vines of ovate, succulent leaves of medium green that are heavily splashed with spots of silver. ‘Mathilde’ is known for its easy-going nature, growing quickly for beginners and seasoned plant parents alike. Given the right conditions, ‘Mathilde’ will reward you with clusters of fragrant, fuzzy white flowers. Be sure to leave the spent flower peduncles intact, as this variety of hoya is a rebloomer.

• For optimal performance, keep your Hoya at 60-85°F (15-29°C).
• Hoyas perform best in bright, indirect light or filtered sunlight. They will tolerate lower light conditions, but will not grow as vigorously or show their colors as vibrantly. Some early morning or late evening sunlight may be tolerated and cause some sought-after “blushing” to appear, but monitor your Hoya for leaf burning if it is in direct sun.
• Hoyas are generally adaptable to ambient household humidity, but they do appreciate higher humidity. You can help get humidity above 60% by using a humidifier, misting your Hoya, or keeping it on a pebble tray.
• Hoyas prefer to dry out in between waterings. As such, water your Hoya thoroughly when the top 1-2 inches of soil feels dry. They can tolerate periods of drought, and overwatering them will cause more harm than underwatering.
