Hoya Crassipetiolata Splash

Hoya crassipetiolata 'Splash' is a striking variety known for its unique foliage and easy care. Here’s how to care for it:

1. Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. It can tolerate some direct morning sun but avoid harsh afternoon sun, which can cause leaf burn.
2. Watering: Allow the top inch or so of soil to dry out between waterings. Water thoroughly, but ensure the pot has good drainage to avoid waterlogging. Reduce watering in the winter when the plant’s growth slows.
3. Humidity: Thrives in higher humidity but is relatively adaptable. Aim for humidity levels around 40-60%. If you live in a dry area, consider using a humidity tray or a humidifier.
4. Temperature: Enjoys temperatures between 60-85°F (15-29°C). 
5. Soil: Use a well-draining mix, such as a blend of potting soil, perlite, and orchid bark. This helps to prevent root rot and provides good aeration.
6. Fertilizing: Feed with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer every 4-6 weeks during the growing season (spring and summer). Reduce feeding in the fall and winter.
7. Repotting: Repot every 1-2 years or when the plant outgrows its container. Spring is the best time for repotting.
8. Pruning: Trim back any leggy growth to encourage a bushier shape and remove any dead or damaged leaves.

By providing these conditions, your Hoya crassipetiolata 'Splash' should thrive and bring you its beautiful, splashy foliage.
