I really love hoya plants. This Hoya Silver Splash is my third. I love their thicker waxy leaves and this one has such a beautiful elongated narrow leaf with fun silver specks all over it.

I have my plant sitting out on our coffee table and my Hoya Silver Splash grows these long 2′ tendrils that just wing out all over the place. It’s so wild and organic looking and I love it. When it gets too out of control, I just trim the tendril and he’s as happy as can be!
