Hoya 'Meena' (Crassipetiolata Splash X Michele Splash) | 2-Inch

Hoya 'Meena' (Crassipetiolata Splash X Michele Splash) is a collector’s hybrid that brings together two highly sought-after splashy Hoya lineages, designed for growers who want bold foliage, manageable vining, and rare-plant appeal in a compact, easy-to-start 2-inch rooted cutting with fresh new growth already emerging.

• 1 - Origin & Leaves (Genetics + Foliage Traits):
  Hoya 'Meena' is a cultivated hybrid (Crassipetiolata Splash × Michele Splash). As a named cross rather than a wild species, there is no single documented geographic origin or peer-reviewed publication specific to this hybrid.
  Leaves typically show splashy variegation patterns inherited from both parents, with a waxy, semi-thick to thick texture common to splash-type Hoyas. Expect sturdy leaves that hold water efficiently, helping the plant tolerate drying cycles between waterings. Leaf shape and splash intensity can vary between cuttings.

• 2 - Flowers (Appearance, Scent, Duration):
  Like most Hoyas, mature plants produce star-shaped umbels of clustered flowers, often waxy in appearance. Fragrance, size, and bloom frequency for this specific hybrid are not widely documented, but Hoya blooms are generally known for light to strong evening fragrance, depending on genetics, with blooms that can last several days per umbel under stable conditions.

• 3 - Growth Rate:
  Moderate to fast once established. Growth accelerates significantly when the plant is rooted and given consistent warmth, humidity, and strong light. As a young rooted cutting, expect a brief acclimation period before vigorous vining begins.

• 4 - Watering Needs:
  Water when the top portion of the substrate dries out. Hoyas prefer thorough watering followed by partial drying, avoiding constantly wet soil to protect roots and encourage strong growth cycles.

• 5 - Light Requirements:
  Bright, indirect light is ideal. For maximum splash expression and faster growth, place about 8 inches from the top of the plant under double Barrina T5 grow lights (14 hrs/day): 
  Too little light will slow growth and reduce leaf splash contrast.

• 6 - Temperature & Humidity:
  Ideal conditions: ~85°F with 70–75% humidity. Stable warmth and elevated humidity encourage faster rooting, larger leaves, and more active vine development.

• 7 - General Hoya Care:
  Provide a chunky, airy mix for oxygen-rich roots and avoid overpotting. Maintain good airflow, consistent light, and a “dry slightly between waterings” rhythm. Full care guide here: https://hoyatreasures.com/pages/caring-for-hoya
