  •   Hoya Obovata Splash (Hoya obovata) is a tropical wax plant from the Apocynaceae family, native to Southeast Asia, India, and parts of the Pacific Islands. This trailing hoya plant grows naturally in humid forests, clinging to trees and rocky surfaces where it receives filtered light and warm temperatures year-round.

      Hoya Obovata Splash is instantly recognizable by its thick, round to oval leaves splattered with silver and white speckles against a deep green background, giving it that signature "splash" variegation collectors go wild for. The leaves are waxy, succulent-like in texture, and grow in opposite pairs along long trailing vines that beg for a hanging hook. This is genuinely a rare variegated wax plant, and no two leaves carry the same pattern.

      Hoya Obovata Splash produces clusters of star-shaped, pink-toned flowers with a waxy, porcelain appearance typical of hoya wax plants. Blooms carry a light, sweet fragrance and emerge most reliably when the plant experiences a slight drop in nighttime temperature, so letting things cool down after summer can trigger that rewarding floral display. Note that like all hoyas, this plant does produce pollen, so keep that in mind if anyone in your home has plant allergies.

      Hoya Obovata Splash is a fantastic trailing hoya plant for bright kitchens, living rooms, or any spot with good ambient humidity. It actively purifies indoor air and filters formaldehyde and other toxins, making it as functional as it is beautiful. This plant is pet friendly, so you can hang it low or let it trail freely without worry. As a rare variegated wax plant with genuine collector appeal, Hoya Obovata Splash is a find worth showing off.

  •   Hoya Obovata Splash thrives in bright indirect light and may scorch in south-facing windows with intense afternoon sun.

      Water Hoya Obovata Splash every 10-14 days in summer and every 3-4 weeks in winter, allowing soil to dry between waterings.

      Hoya Obovata Splash prefers a fast-draining mix of orchid bark, perlite, and standard potting soil in roughly equal parts.

      Hoya Obovata Splash prefers temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C) and should be protected from frost and cold drafts below 50°F (10°C).

      Hoya Obovata Splash grows at a moderate pace and benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during the active growing season.

      Hoya Obovata Splash is rated for USDA hardiness zones 9-11 and cannot tolerate frost or temperatures below 30°F (-1°C) outdoors. In the continental United States, it grows outdoors year-round in California, Texas, Arizona, Nevada, Florida, Georgia, South Carolina, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, and along the Oregon coast. Hawaii also falls within these zones, and gardeners across all other states can enjoy Hoya Obovata Splash as a thriving indoor trailing hoya plant brought outside for summer warmth.
  • Q: Is Hoya Obovata Splash pet friendly?
    A: Yes, Hoya Obovata Splash is pet friendly and considered non-toxic to cats and dogs, though the milky sap can occasionally cause mild skin or paw irritation on contact.

    Q: How often should I water Hoya Obovata Splash?
    A: Water Hoya Obovata Splash every 10-14 days in warm months and scale back to every 3-4 weeks in winter. The leaves will show mild wilting when the plant is thirsty, making it easy to read.

    Q: Can Hoya Obovata Splash grow in an office under LED lights?
    A: Yes, Hoya Obovata Splash can adapt to office conditions and grow reasonably well under standard LED lighting. Bright indirect light is always preferred, but this wax plant handles lower-light office environments better than many trailing plants.

    Q: How do I get Hoya Obovata Splash to bloom?
    A: Hoya Obovata Splash is most likely to flower when it experiences a slight drop in nighttime temperature, ideally around 55-60°F (13-15°C). Keeping it slightly root-bound and avoiding relocation once buds form also helps encourage blooming.

    Q: Can I take Hoya Obovata Splash outside in summer?
    A: Absolutely. Hoya Obovata Splash loves spending summer outdoors in a sheltered, shaded spot with good airflow. Just be sure to cover it from heavy rain and bring it back inside before temperatures dip in autumn.

    Q: How do I propagate Hoya Obovata Splash?
    A: Hoya Obovata Splash propagates easily from stem cuttings with at least one node, rooted in water or a moist perlite mix. Keep cuttings warm and humid for the best success rate.

    🌿 For Houseplants
    When your package arrives, you may notice a bit of loose soil in the box. This is completely normal during shipping.
    Please remove your plants from their packaging as soon as possible and review the care instructions included with your order. Water based on your plant’s needs, making sure not to overwater.
    Houseplants may need a short adjustment period after arrival. Give your plant time to acclimate to its new space before placing it with other plants. You can gently clean the leaves if needed, and wait to fertilize until it has settled in. Always check soil moisture instead of watering on a fixed schedule.
    *** We pack carefully to protect each plant during transit, so larger orders may arrive in multiple packages.
