I wonder how the REAL hoya pubicalyx splash looks like?
In Sweden circulates a hoya, who seams to me be a pink silver, under the name pubicalyx splash?
I also want now where this pubicalyx comes from ?

Hoya pubicalyx `splash´ ???
Mine has bloomed....it is just cv. Pink Silver. Those H. pubicalyx have all sported, crossed, changed so much...hard to define cultivars anymore...they ARE H. pubicalyx.... smile.

My 'Pink Silver' developed these leaves after I repotted it this spring. I've seen cuttings with leaves like these sold as 'Splash'.

Hi again!
This picture im going to show is Torill Nyhuus pic.
She recived a hoya named splash from a woman in US.
This dont look like a pink silver to me. Is this the real pubicalyx splash?
Maria, (i have Torills approval to show her pic).
Maria, those leaves look just like the new ones on my 'Pink Silver'.

H. pubicalyx "Splash" is just a name someone gave a Pink Silver with lots of splotches.
Aha.. good question, I have been wondering to about this "spash" vs. "pink silver"
One of my "pink silver" plants looks also like that.
I have this one also, and think it is a much more attractive variety of pink silver than the other one I have that doesn't have much markings on the leaves. Also the 'splash' one that I have out where it gets a lot of sun has a lot of color in the new leaves. They are like the 'Red Buttons' leaves in that they are very dark maroon color for awhile. A very pretty plant I think.

I also have the opinion (for whatever it's good for :) that H. pubicalyx 'Pink Silver' and 'Splash' are one and the same. I've seen on mine leaves that are minimally splotched and on the same branch leaves that are very densly splotched so I guess it's just the nature of the beast.

Perhaps a H. publicalyn. Was purchased on Ebay along with a 'hindu rope'.
Senlarrs, that looks like H. carnosa to me.... :>)
