I got this a few days ago without a name. It was a very large plant. I think it is a pubicalyx "splash." Is there anything else that can be learned from it? The lower green leaves have hardly any spots. The more pink leaves have lots of spots.

Those pretty leaves definitely look like Wax Plant (Hoya pubicalyx) but other than that, if it didn't have a label/tag/name attached to it when acquired, it's almost impossible to know if it is a named cultivar. I was told by a Hoya grower years ago that Hoya pubicalyx can be extremely variable with very few to no spots/splotches, or with many spots/splotches. Once it produces blooms though, you can compare it the flowers of the different cultivars and possibly find a close match.

You can view photos of different named cultivars on this page in our database: https://garden.org/plants/sear...
