Mix 50% coarse orchid bark, 30% perlite or pumice, and 20% coconut coir or peat chunk. This guarantees rapid drainage, prevents stagnant water retention around the roots, and protects against fungal root rot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eQ3: Should I give my Hoya erythrina Splash a trellis or let it trail in a hanging pot?\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA3:\u003c\/b\u003e While \u003ci\u003eHoya erythrina\u003c\/i\u003e Splash looks stunning cascading from a hanging basket, training its vines onto a bamboo trellis or moss pole encourages faster growth.

Always allow the top 75% to 100% of the potting medium to dry out completely before watering again. If soil moisture is fine, check for cold drafts below 15°C or insufficient light levels.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PlantJoyCo","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53962664476979,"sku":null,"price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0971\/2635\/1155\/files\/hoya-erythrina-splash-hoya-erythrina-splash-rare-wax-plant-0A-30082026_jpg.webp?v=1788073804","url":"https:\/\/www.plantjoyco.com.au\/products\/hoya-erythrina-splash-hoya-erythrina-splash-rare-wax-plant","provider":"PlantJoyCo","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
