Hoya Burtoniae Variegated

Hoya Burtoniae Variegated

Hoya Burtoniae Variegated is a rare, eye-catching variety prized for its velvety, almond-shaped leaves with yellow-green to soft pink inner variegation. The lighter centers are surrounded by deep green margins, creating a dramatic contrast that’s especially vivid in bright light. Some new leaves may emerge with warm pink or blush tones before maturing into fully deep green, giving this plant a dynamic, ever-changing appearance.

This compact trailing Hoya grows well in hanging planters, on shelves, or cascading from a pot, and can also be trained to climb a small trellis. When mature, it may produce clusters of vivid, deep red-pink flowers with a sweet scent for the senses, a bonus to its beautiful foliage. Even when not in bloom, its soft texture and bold coloration make it a standout in any Hoya collection.

Hoya Burtoniae Variegated is a fantastic choice for collectors seeking something unique, yet easy to care for. Its forgiving nature, combined with rich foliage contrast and gentle floral fragrance, makes it a perfect addition to any bright indoor space.

care instructions

Light Requirements: Prefers bright, indirect light to maintain strong inner variegation and pink tones; some gentle morning sun is beneficial.
Soil Needs: Requires a chunky, well-draining potting mix; use a blend of orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir or peat.
Watering: Water when the top 1–2 inches of soil feel dry; avoid overwatering and ensure good drainage to prevent root rot.
Humidity: Tolerates average humidity but thrives with moderate to high humidity, especially during active growth.
Fertilizing: Feed monthly during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, diluted liquid fertilizer.
Pruning: Lightly prune to control size or shape and remove any damaged leaves; avoid cutting off flowering spurs.
Repotting: Repot every 1–2 years or when rootbound; refresh soil to maintain aeration and nutrient levels.
