Is it toxic for pets or children?
Hoya forbesii 'Splash' Tabalong is an ornamental plant not intended for consumption. Like most hoyas, it contains a milky latex (whitish sap) that appears when leaves or stems are damaged. This latex contains irritating compounds which can cause:
- For humans: skin or eye irritation, especially in sensitive individuals; if ingested, it may cause nausea, vomiting, or digestive discomfort.
- For pets (cats, dogs, rabbits, etc.): excessive salivation, oral irritation, mild vomiting, or temporary loss of appetite – symptoms are usually mild but unpleasant.
Although not considered "highly toxic", it belongs to the category of ornamental plants with irritating latex.
It is recommended to:
- avoid handling with bare hands if you are sensitive to the sap,
- keep the plant away from children and pets,
- wash your hands immediately after cutting or propagating.

Where should I place it indoors?
Ideally near a bright window (east or west-facing) with 6-10 hours of bright indirect light daily. A location with good humidity (bathroom with window, near humidifier, or grouped with other plants) is perfect. Consider a hanging basket or high shelf where the vines can trail dramatically. Once positioned and showing good growth, avoid moving frequently as stability promotes flowering.
