Hoya Identification help

4 years ago

Hello!
I purchased this hoya labeled as ‘carnosa splash’ do you think that’s the correct Id? Seems to have pretty large leaves for a standard carnosa. I’ve only started my hoya addiction, I mean collection, so I don’t know much of anything about identifying hoyas yet. It looks like a carnosa freckles, carnosa x fungii, to me, but I could use some others advice. Thanks for your help ;)

The leaves do look quite large and veiny which also makes me think of fungii. But carnosa leaves can also get large and splashy. Splash is more of a descriptor than an actual cultivar.

Unfortunately there is no way to know for sure unless the seller provides accurate information or until it blooms. Just enjoy it.

I will def enjoy it. I like her quite a bit and am finding I’m drawn to the different carnosa cultivars in general.
Thank you!
