How to care for Hoya diversifolia 'Super Splash' sp. Wonosobo
- Light: Prefers bright indirect light for optimal variegation and growth. More light intensifies variegation but avoid harsh direct sun which can scorch variegated areas.
- Watering: Water when substrate dries completely between waterings. Variegated plants are more sensitive to overwatering than green forms.
- Soil: Use a very well-draining substrate (orchid mix with bark, perlite, coco coir) to prevent waterlogging and root rot.
- Temperature and humidity: Ideal temperature: 18–24°C, with humidity above 60% for optimal growth, variegation stability, and flowering.
- Important: Do not remove flower peduncles after blooming, as they will flower again from the same spot.

1. **Spectacular variegation** – heavy, stable silver-white splashes covering large portions of leaves
2. **Rare locality form** – collected from Wonosobo region in Central Java mountains
3. **Unique leaf patterns** – each leaf displays different variegation, making every plant one-of-a-kind
4. **Stable variegation** – does not easily revert to green
5. **Thick succulent leaves** – sculptural appearance with excellent water retention
6. **Vigorous growth** – grows quickly once established despite heavy variegation
7. **Good flowering** – maintains flowering capability despite reduced chlorophyll

9. **Air purifier** – excellent at removing pollutants from indoor air
10. **Safe for pets** – non-toxic and considered safe around cats and dogs
What does 'Super Splash' mean?
'Super Splash' refers to the heavy, dramatic silver-white variegation pattern on the leaves. In the Hoya hobby, "splash" variegation describes irregular silver or white markings that appear to be splashed or splattered across the leaf surface. "Super" indicates the exceptionally heavy degree of splashing, with large portions of each leaf covered in silver-white variegation. This creates a much more dramatic effect than plants with light or moderate splashing.
What is sp. Wonosobo?
"sp. Wonosobo" indicates this is a specific population or locality form collected from the Wonosobo region. Wonosobo is a regency in Central Java, Indonesia, known for its mountainous terrain, cool climate, and the Dieng Plateau. "sp." stands for "species" or more specifically in this context, "specimen from." Plants from specific localities can have unique characteristics due to local adaptation, making them interesting to collectors. The Wonosobo form may exhibit more robust growth characteristics due to adaptation to highland conditions.
Where should I place it indoors for optimal variegation?
Ideally near an east- or southeast-facing window with bright indirect light. This variegated cultivar:
- Needs more light than green H. diversifolia to maintain and enhance variegation
- Bright light intensifies the silver-white coloring
- Avoid harsh direct afternoon sun which can scorch variegated areas
- Perfect for hanging baskets where variegated leaves can be viewed from below
- Can also be trained on trellises or supports to climb
- Benefits from high humidity (above 60%) for optimal growth
- Prefers stable temperatures without cold drafts
- Rotate occasionally to ensure even light exposure and variegation
Is it difficult to care for?
Hoya diversifolia 'Super Splash' sp. Wonosobo requires intermediate care:
- Slightly more challenging than green forms due to variegation
- Main requirements: bright light (more than green forms) and careful watering
- Variegated portions are more sensitive to overwatering and sunburn
- Must avoid overwatering (biggest risk for variegated plants)
- Use very well-draining substrate to prevent root rot
- Needs bright indirect light to maintain variegation and compensate for reduced chlorophyll
- Once established and happy, grows vigorously and rewards with stunning foliage
- Best suited for collectors with some Hoya experience
- Worth the extra care for the spectacular visual impact
What makes the variegation special?
The variegation of 'Super Splash' sp. Wonosobo is special because:
- Heavy coverage: large portions of each leaf are silver-white
- Stable pattern: does not easily revert to green
- Dramatic contrast: bright silver against green creates striking effect
- Unique patterns: each leaf has different splash configuration
- High visibility: variegation is bold and prominent, not subtle
- Collector appeal: highly sought after for its visual impact
- Quality variegation: well-distributed across leaves
- Enhanced by light: bright conditions intensify the silver coloring
Will the variegation revert to green?
Hoya diversifolia 'Super Splash' sp. Wonosobo has stable variegation:
- The silver-white splashing is generally stable and does not easily revert
- Occasional fully green leaves may appear but are uncommon
- If green leaves appear, they can be pruned if desired (but aren't necessary to remove)
- Maintain bright light to keep variegation strong and prevent weakening
- The variegation is genetic and stable across new growth
- Heavy variegation remains consistent throughout the plant's life with proper care
Can variegated areas burn in the sun?
Yes, variegated areas are more sensitive to sun damage:
- Silver-white areas lack chlorophyll and protective pigments
- Direct sun can cause brown scorching on variegated portions
- Green areas are more sun-tolerant
- Provide bright indirect light rather than direct sun
- Gentle morning sun is acceptable, but avoid harsh afternoon sun
- If leaves show browning on white areas, move to lower light
- The plant needs bright light for variegation but not direct sun exposure
Does it grow slower than green forms?
Hoya diversifolia 'Super Splash' sp. Wonosobo:
- May grow slightly slower than fully green forms due to reduced chlorophyll
- However, it's still considered a vigorous grower among variegated Hoyas
- With adequate bright light, growth rate is good and steady
- The thick succulent leaves help compensate for reduced photosynthetic capacity
- Once established, produces new growth regularly
- Growth is fastest during spring and summer with optimal light
- Provides bright light to maximize growth rate despite variegation
