Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash' is a striking cultivar of the Hoya pubicalyx species, characterised by its attractive variegated foliage. Here are some care tips for your Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash':

1. Light: Provide bright, indirect light for your Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash'. It can tolerate some direct sunlight, especially during the morning hours, but avoid prolonged exposure to harsh sun, as it may scorch the leaves.
2. Watering: Water your plant when the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash' prefers slightly drier conditions compared to some other Hoya varieties. Ensure good drainage to prevent waterlogging, which can lead to root rot.
3. Humidity: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels for your plant, as it appreciates a more humid environment. You can increase humidity by misting the leaves regularly or placing a humidifier nearby.
4. Temperature: Keep your Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash' in a warm environment, ideally between 60°F to 80°F (15°C to 27°C). Protect it from drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations, especially during the winter months.
5. Soil: Use a well-draining potting mix that retains some moisture but doesn't become waterlogged. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark works well for Hoya plants.
6. Fertilizing: Feed your Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash' with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is dormant.
7. Pruning: Regularly prune your plant to maintain its shape and remove any leggy or damaged growth. You can also propagate cuttings to create new plants.
8. Potting: Repot your Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash' when it outgrows its current pot or if the soil becomes depleted. Choose a slightly larger pot with good drainage.
9. Pests: Keep an eye out for common houseplant pests such as aphids, mealybugs, and spider mites. Inspect your plant regularly, and if you notice any signs of infestation, treat it promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.
