Hoya Burtoniae

Botanical Name: Hoya burtoniae
Common Name(s): Burton's Hoya, Wax Plant

The Hoya Burtoniae is a charming and relatively rare species of Hoya, known for its attractive appearance and fragrant flowers. Native to Southeast Asia, this Hoya is highly sought after for its thick, waxy leaves and beautiful, star-shaped blooms.

The Hoya Burtoniae is a climbing or trailing vine that can be grown as a hanging plant, a climber on a trellis, or as a cascading vine in a container. One of the standout features of Hoya Burtoniae is its thick, leathery, dark green leaves, which are smaller in size compared to other Hoya species but have a waxy texture that helps them conserve moisture. The plant is relatively slow-growing but can eventually produce long, trailing stems if allowed to grow. Hoya burtoniae is well-suited for hanging baskets or planters where its vines can spill over the sides, creating a beautiful cascading effect.

In late spring to summer, the Hoya Burtoniae produces small, star-shaped flowers that are typically a pale pink to white color, with a dark red center. The flowers are incredibly fragrant, releasing a sweet, honey-like scent, especially in the evening, adding an extra layer of appeal to this stunning plant. While the flowers are small, they are borne in clusters, creating a dense, showy display.

This Hoya thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light levels, although its growth may slow down, and it may produce fewer blooms. Like most Hoyas, it is relatively drought-tolerant and should be watered thoroughly but allowed to dry out between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to plant it in well-draining soil, such as a cactus or succulent mix, and ensure the pot has drainage holes.

Note: The Hoya Burtoniae is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe choice for homes with curious animals. However, as with all Hoyas, it's best to keep the plant out of reach of pets that may be tempted to chew on the leaves or vines.

Care Insights & Expert Tips

  1. Avoid Disturbing the Roots: Hoya plants don't like their roots to be disturbed, so repot them only when necessary.
  2. Use a humidifier: This plant benefits greatly from the use of a humidifier or high humidity area for healthier leaves. 
  3. Enjoy the rare flowers: This Hoya is also known for beautiful, fragrant white or pale pink flowers. To encourage blooming, provide plenty of bright light and avoid overwatering.
  4. Avoid drafts: Avoid placing this plant near cold drafts or air conditioning vents.
  5. Watch for pests: Watch out for pests like mealybugs and spider mites. Treat infestations promptly with insecticidal soap or neem oil.

FAQs

Do you have a return or replacement policy for plants?

Due to the perishable nature of plants, we do not accept returns based on personal preference. Shipping live plants back and forth can cause unnecessary stress and jeopardize the health of the plant. We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.

If there’s an issue with your order, please notify us within 30 days so we can address the issue as quickly as possible. To learn more, visit 30-Day Customer Guarantee.

Can I order and receive plants during the winter?

Yes, we ship plants year-round! Our shipments are carefully packaged to ensure we deliver healthy plants to your door every day of the year. We monitor the weather across the country and will include heat packs at no extra charge to keep your plants warm during shipping.

If I order more than one plant, will they ship separately?

Items apart of the same order typically ship together.

For these instances, once each item is shipped, you'll receive individual tracking information for each package, so you can easily track their progress.

Where do you ship?

We currently ship to the contiguous United States which consists of the 48 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.

Do you offer same-day or next-day delivery?

Unfortunately, we do not offer same-day or next-day delivery. Plants require careful preparation and packaging to ensure they arrive healthy and in optimal condition, we take the necessary time to pack them properly. This ensures that your plants are shipped safely and arrive ready to thrive.
