Origin

Description
Hoya parasitica ‘Heart Leaf splash' also commonly referred to as Hoya verticillata has lovely, medium-sized leaves that are shaped like hearts and covered in numerous silver flecks.
The inflorescence consists of a number of hanging or more upright flowers arranged in an umbel. The creamy white fragrant flowers have centers that are pink-purple. They appear to be made of wax and are born in clusters with a star-like shape.
Environment
Easy to grow & don't require much attention. Hoya do best in filtered light or with lots of artificial light in indoors.
Hoya plants don't ask for much, beyond the well-draining soil and the warm humid conditions ((similar to bromeliads and orchids)
They are epyphite, can be grown in orchid medium or light potting mix with lots of bark conditioner. Hoya like the security of a snug pot, and plants that are a bit root bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot.
This plant is attractive to bees, butterflies and/or birds .
Landscape Use
It makes a nice hanging basket, but also does really well as a mounted plant
