Hoya sp. Cianjur

Unrooted cutting of Hoya sp. Cianjur.
Three to five nodes.

Hoya sp. Cianjur (Splash) is an unidentified collector Hoya circulated under a locality name associated with Cianjur, West Java, Indonesia.

The plant develops small to medium-sized green leaves covered with irregular silver splash. Individual leaves can vary considerably, ranging from fine silver speckling to much heavier mottling and larger silver patches. On a mature vine, this creates a beautiful mix of darker green and highly silvered foliage.

The “sp.” designation is important because this plant does not appear to have a confirmed species identification. Although plants from Cianjur are sometimes offered online under more specific Hoya names, we prefer to retain the locality-based name rather than assign it to a species without supporting documentation.

Our original plant was purchased directly from Ivan of The Bee Hoya in Indonesia many years ago and has been maintained and propagated in our collection since then. The Bee Hoya continues to circulate a plant under the name Hoya sp. Cianjur Splash as part of its Java Hoya collection.
