Hoya Crassipetiolata 'Super Splash'
The Hoya Crassipetiolata 'Super Splash' is a stunning variety of Hoya that captivates with its unique foliage and charming characteristics. This species features thick, waxy leaves, often generously splashed with creamy white variegation against a deep green backdrop, creating a beautiful contrast that brightens any plant collection.
Light Requirements:
This Hoya thrives in bright, indirect light. While it can tolerate lower light conditions, adequate brightness encourages more vibrant leaf coloration and stronger growth. Avoid direct sunlight, as it can scorch the leaves.
Watering:
Like many Hoyas, the 'Super Splash' prefers to dry out slightly between waterings. A good rule of thumb is to check the top inch of soil; if it's dry, it's time to water. Be cautious not to overwater, as this can lead to root rot.
Humidity:
This variety enjoys higher humidity levels, similar to its native tropical environment. Aim for humidity levels around 40% to 60% for optimal growth. You can increase humidity through misting, pebble trays, or a humidifier.
Temperature:
The ideal temperature range for Hoya Crassipetiolata 'Super Splash' is between 65°F to 85°F. It is best to protect it from extreme temperature fluctuations and drafts.
Fertilization:
During the growing season (spring and summer), fertilize monthly with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength. This helps promote healthy growth and vibrant foliage. Reduce fertilization in fall and winter when the plant enters a dormant phase.
Propagation:
Propagating Hoya Crassipetiolata 'Super Splash' is usually done through leaf cuttings or stem cuttings. Ensure the cuttings contain at least one node, and place them in soil or water until roots develop.
Pests and Issues:
Keep an eye out for common pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Regularly inspecting your plant helps catch infestations early. If noticed, treat with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
