Meet Hoya ‘Freckled Splash’—a stunning variety of wax vine featuring large, almond-shaped dark green leaves with striking silvery flecks, known as "splashing." These unique markings are created when air becomes trapped between the leaves, and they are most prominent when the plant is placed in bright, indirect light. On rare occasions, Freckled Splash will bloom, showcasing clusters of delicate pale pink flowers with contrasting red centers. Once the blooms have faded, resist the urge to prune the spent flower peduncles, as Freckled Splash is a reblooming variety that may produce new flowers on the same stems.

Care Information
- 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.
- Feed your Hoya once per month at half strength when it is actively growing. Reduce frequency of fertilization in the winter months. If no new leaves are growing, it does not need to be fertilized.
- When repotting your Hoya, use a chunky all-purpose potting mix, with additional orchid bark and perlite added, to ensure your Hoya has good drainage and plenty of nutrients. Hoyas are vines, capable of trailing or climbing. If you’d like it to climb, provide it with structure, such as a moss pole, trellis, stakes, or other structure.
