Care information

Light requirements: Hoya Parasitica Splash does best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can damage the leaves, so it should be placed near a window with filtered light. It can also survive in light shade, but this may slow growth and make the leaf pattern less pronounced.

Watering Needs: Allow soil to dry between waterings. Hoya Parasitica Splash does not require much water and can withstand short periods of drought. Avoid overwatering to prevent root rot.

Soil Type: Use a well-draining potting soil that is light and airy, such as a mix of potting soil and perlite or orchid soil. This will ensure good drainage and prevent the roots from sitting in water.

Fertilization: Feed Hoya Parasitica Splash once a month during the growing season (spring and summer) with a liquid fertilizer suitable for houseplants. Fertilization is not necessary in autumn and winter.
