Product Details

Hoya pubicalyx Silver Spot
Hoya pubicalyx Silver Spot is a striking vining Hoya known for its long, narrow green leaves decorated with irregular silver flecks, splashes, and spots. The amount of silver can vary from leaf to leaf, giving each vine its own pattern. With plenty of light, the foliage may also develop reddish or purple tones. Mature plants can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers that add even more interest to this easy-to-display tropical vine.
The proper botanical name is Hoya pubicalyx, with “Silver Spot” commonly used in the plant trade to describe forms selected for noticeable silver spotting or splash on the foliage. Hoya pubicalyx is native to the Philippines and is naturally variable, so the amount and pattern of silver can differ between individual plants. It may also simply be sold as Hoya pubicalyx Splash or Silver Splash.
Care
Hoya pubicalyx Silver Spot does best in bright, indirect light and can tolerate some gentle direct sunlight. Brighter light can encourage stronger growth, more noticeable coloration, and flowering. Avoid suddenly exposing the plant to intense afternoon sun, which can scorch the foliage.
Allow the upper portion of the potting mix to dry between waterings, then water thoroughly and allow excess water to drain. Its thick leaves store some moisture, so it handles occasional dryness better than constantly wet soil. Reduce watering when growth slows during cooler or darker periods.
Use a chunky, airy, and fast-draining potting mix. Orchid bark, coco chips, perlite, pumice, and a small amount of quality potting mix work well. Hoyas are particularly sensitive to dense soil that remains wet around the roots.
Hoya pubicalyx prefers warm temperatures and moderate to high humidity but adapts well to typical household conditions. Good airflow is beneficial, especially when humidity is higher. Protect the plant from cold drafts and prolonged chilly temperatures.
This Hoya develops long, vigorous vines that can be allowed to trail or trained around a trellis or other support. Long searching vines with few leaves are normal and often develop foliage later. Mature plants produce rounded clusters of star-shaped flowers, often in shades of pink, red, or burgundy with contrasting centers. Do not remove old flower spurs, or peduncles, after blooming because the plant can flower repeatedly from the same structures.
Pet Safety
Hoya pubicalyx is generally considered pet-friendly and non-toxic to cats and dogs. Its milky sap may still cause mild irritation in sensitive individuals, and eating a large amount of plant material can cause digestive upset, so it is best to discourage pets from chewing on the plant.
