Hoya Mathilde Splash

Light
Bright, indirect light is ideal. Too little light can cause the silver splash pattern to fade, while too much direct sun can burn the leaves. A grow light can also work well if natural light is limited.

Watering
Allow the top half of the soil to dry out between waterings. Like most Hoyas, it prefers slightly drier conditions and is sensitive to overwatering. In winter, reduce watering frequency.

Temperature & Humidity
Prefers warm temperatures between 18–27°C (65–80°F). It thrives in moderate to high humidity but can adapt to average indoor levels. Extra humidity can encourage flowering and healthier foliage.

Soil
Use a well-draining, lightweight mix—ideally a combination of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat. Avoid dense soils that retain water.

Fertilizing
Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer. Pause feeding during fall and winter.

Pruning & Maintenance
Minimal pruning needed—trim back leggy growth if desired. Don’t cut off the flowering spurs (peduncles), as Hoyas often re-bloom from the same spot.

Pests
Generally pest-resistant but keep an eye out for mealybugs and spider mites. Wipe leaves regularly and inspect new growth for signs of infestation.
