Distinctive Silver‑Speckled Hoya Mathilde for Hanging Pots Glossy, slightly succulent leaves carry bold silver flecks and larger pale patches that catch light across a compact trai ling silhouette. The foliage is thicker than many small‑leaf Hoyas, producing a neat cascade punctuated in season by umbels of waxy, butter‑yellow blooms with orange‑red centres and a pleasant sweet scent. An established selected cultivar (accepted as Hoya carnosa 'Mathilde'), this hybrid combines the floriferous, small‑leaf habit of H. serpens with the succulence of H. carnosa. It produces aerial roots and will happily trail from a hanging pot or be trained on a small support; flower clusters form on persistent peduncles, so removing those old spurs will reduce future blooms. In everyday ownership it suits limited spaces and shallow pots, rewarding bright, indirect light with more frequent flowering. One clear trade‑off: Mathilde is prone to root problems if kept constantly wet, so it does best when allowed to dry slightly between thorough watering. Collectors value the cultivar for its silver‑flecked foliage and scented umbels, though the cultivar itself is widely traded; selected variegated or “splash” offspring can show variable stability. Best for hanging baskets, high shelves or small trellises, this listing is supplied as a baby nursery pot so you’ll receive a young, establishing plant that will fill and trail over time. Its compact habit makes it easier to display than many large‑leaf Hoya carnosa forms, while still offering the classic waxy flowers collectors prize. Show more
