Hoya Burtoniae Variegata – Ø 6 cm

Care/Details

• Light – Hoya Burtoniae Variegata thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate lower light conditions. However, its variegation will be more vibrant with ample light. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its leaves.

• Watering – Water moderately, allowing the top inch of soil to dry out between waterings. In winter, reduce the watering frequency as the plant enters dormancy. Be cautious not to overwater, as Hoyas prefer slightly drier conditions to prevent root rot.

• Humidity – This plant enjoys average household humidity but will appreciate slightly higher levels. Increase humidity by misting or using a humidity tray, especially during drier months.

• Soil – Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one with a blend of peat moss, perlite, and orchid bark. Proper drainage is crucial to avoid waterlogged roots.

• Pruning – Prune occasionally to maintain shape and encourage bushier growth. Trim back long vines and remove any dead or yellowing leaves.

• Fertilizer – Feed monthly during the active growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced, water-soluble fertilizer. Reduce or stop feeding in winter when the plant’s growth slows down.

• Support – Hoya Burtoniae Variegata is a trailing or climbing plant, so providing a support like a trellis or moss pole will help it grow beautifully. Guide the vines gently to encourage climbing.
