I am by no means an expert when it comes to increasing splash. However, I wanted to share my knowledge with you. I believe the two factors that most influence splash in a greenhouse setting is light and air. Plants use photosynthesis to convert energy from light into chemical energy. The three main elements needed for photosynthesis is water, carbon dioxide (from the air), and light. When extra energy is created from the process of photosynthesis, it is stored in the plant tissue as starch. The splash you see on my Wilbur Graves above, is really just starches in the leaves. Despite my limited knowledge, I find that using grow lights (Barrina T8's) for 12 hours a day and fans within my grow tent immensely help keep splash among Hoya like AH-074 or carnosa 'Wilbur Graves'. I keep Hoya's that I'm actively trying to keep splashy closer to the fans and more directly under the lights.
