The Hoya Mathilde ‘Splash’ is a sweet, compact hybrid with round, thick leaves dusted in silvery splash markings. Cute, trailing, and wonderfully fragrant when in bloom, it’s a favourite among Hoya lovers who enjoy small, tidy vines with lots of charm.

☀️ Light

• Thrives in bright, indirect light

• Can handle some gentle morning sun

• More light = more splash + more flowers

• Avoid intense midday sun to prevent leaf burn

💧 Water

• Water when the top 40–50% of soil is dry

• Prefers to dry out slightly between waterings

• Use an airy, fast-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite + coco coir)

• Overwatering = yellowing or soft leaves

🌫️ Humidity

• Enjoys moderate humidity (50–70%)

• Adapts well to typical indoor humidity

• Higher humidity encourages blooming

🌡️ Temperature

• Ideal range: 18–28°C

• Keep away from drafts and temps below 15°C

🍽️ Feeding

• Feed every 4 weeks in spring and summer

• Balanced or bloom-boost fertilizer works well

• No feeding in winter

🌸 Blooms

• Produces clusters of beautifully scented, star-shaped flowers

• Keep old peduncles — it reblooms from them

• Strong light = more frequent flowering

🌱 Growth Tips

• Perfect for hanging pots or small trellises

• Slow-to-medium grower but very rewarding

• Rotate for even splash distribution

• Mildly toxic if ingested
