Hoya parasitica 'Splash' is a striking tropical vine admired for its thick, glossy green leaves speckled with silvery-white splashes. Grown primarily for its attractive foliage, it also produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers under the right conditions. This slow-growing epiphyte makes an excellent houseplant, thriving in bright light with minimal care.

Fun Fact:
The “splash” in this variety refers to the natural silver variegation on its leaves, which becomes more pronounced with higher light—making it both a low-maintenance and visually rewarding houseplant.
