Hoya ‘Mathilde Splash’
Delicate yet resilient, Hoya Mathilde Splash feels like light caught mid-air. Its small, round leaves are a gentle green, dusted with silvery “splash” markings that shimmer subtly as they catch the light. Whimsical and refined all at once, this trailing beauty brings an easy elegance to shelves, hanging planters, and intimate plant corners.
As it matures, Mathilde Splash rewards patience with clusters of sweetly scented, star-shaped blooms—tiny miracles that feel deeply personal when they arrive.
What It Looks Like

Speckled silver splash variegation on fresh green foliage
Trailing or lightly climbing growth habit
Compact, graceful vines that layer beautifully
It’s gentle in scale, but rich in detail—the kind of plant you notice more the longer you live with it.
