Hoya 'Mathilde Splash' is a really charming trailing plant with small, rounded green leaves dusted with silvery speckles—hence the name “splash.” Its thick, waxy foliage grows on delicate vines, and with the right care, it may reward you with clusters of sweetly scented star-shaped flowers. A beautiful, low-maintenance choice for hanging planters or shelves.

Position your Hoya somewhere nice and bright with ideally at least two hours of full sun.
As they originate from tropical climates, they do appreciate high humidity, so growing them in a bathroom or kitchen would be perfect (but not essential!).
It's always best to underwater these plants as they are drought tolerant and store water in their semi-succulent leaves! Water more frequently in the warmer months, and always allow at least 50% of the soil to dry out between waterings.
When watering, thoroughly soak the soil until water drains out of the bottom of the pot. Discard any excess water in the saucer or decorative pot to prevent waterlogged roots.
It's important to adjust your watering routine based on the time of year and specific environmental conditions like humidity and temperature.
