    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

    Sunlight

    Bright, indirect light: This plant prefers plenty of light to maintain its thick waxy leaves and bloom flowers. Avoid direct light or harsh sunlight as it can scorch the leaves. 

    Water

    Water once every 1-2 weeks: This plant requires watering only once every 1-2 weeks or when the top 1-2 inches of the soil is dry. This plant is drought-tolerant and prefers to dry out a bit between waterings. Avoid overwatering. 

    Temperature

    Warm temperatures: This plant prefer temperatures between 60-80°F (16-27°C) with average to high humidity. Be mindful of sudden temperature changes and cold drafts. Warm stable environment is preferred.

      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.
