Hoya Silver Splash (Wax Plant) ^Sale

Hoya Silver Splash (Hoya pubicalyx 'Silver Splash'), also called the Wax Plant or Porcelain Flower, is one of the easiest and most rewarding houseplants you can grow in Mauritius. Its long, thick, dark green leaves are sprinkled with silver flecks, and its trailing vines look stunning in a hanging basket or climbing a trellis. Once mature, it produces clusters of star-shaped, waxy pink flowers with a sweet fragrance, especially in the evening.

Why you'll love the Hoya Silver Splash

• Beautiful all year: silver-splashed foliage, even when it is not in flower.
• Fragrant flowers: clusters of porcelain-like pink blooms that come back year after year.
• Made for Mauritius: loves our warm, humid climate.
• Very forgiving: its thick, succulent leaves store water, so a missed watering is not a problem.
• Versatile: perfect for hanging baskets, verandas, bright living rooms and offices.

Quick facts

How to care for your Hoya Silver Splash in Mauritius

• Light: bright, indirect light. A little gentle morning sun helps it flower. Avoid strong afternoon sun, which can burn the leaves.
• Watering: water only when the soil is dry. In the hot, rainy summer this is usually about once a week; in winter, less often. Never leave it standing in water.
• Soil: a light, airy, well-draining mix, such as potting soil mixed with coco chips or perlite.
• Feeding: a balanced liquid fertiliser once a month during the warm season.
• Outdoors: it can live on a covered veranda or in a sheltered, shaded spot. Bring it inside during cyclones and strong winds.
• Flowering tip: do not cut off the old flower stalks. Hoyas bloom again from the same spurs.
