Latin name: Hoya sigillatis 'Silver'
Common name: Hoya Sigillatis Silver, Splashy Hoya
Overview: Originating from Borneo, this epiphytic vine features elongated, matte-green leaves richly splashed with silvery variegation. Its trailing habit and metallic-patterned foliage make it a standout choice for hanging baskets or elevated display.
Flower details
While foliage is the main attraction, Hoya sigillatis can produce clusters of waxy, star-shaped flowers typical of Hoya species. These blooms are charming but rare and secondary to the plant's dramatic leaves.
