Hoya burtoniae – Fuzzy-Foliage Fragrance 🌿🌸

Hoya burtoniae is a sweet, compact trailing species native to the Philippines, known for its small, almond-shaped leaves with a soft, velvety texture. Under bright light, its green foliage often deepens to a purplish-bronze hue. It blooms with clusters of fuzzy, deep pink flowers that give off a sweet, honey-like fragrance.

Key Features:

✔ Velvety, narrow leaves that turn bronze in bright light
✔ Produces fragrant, fuzzy pink blooms in umbels
✔ Compact, trailing habit – ideal for hanging pots or shelf edges
✔ Drought-tolerant and low-maintenance
✔ A must-have for Hoya collectors and scent lovers

Care Instructions:

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light – some morning sun enhances colour and bloom potential

• Watering: Water when the top half of soil is dry – avoid soggy roots

• Humidity: Enjoys moderate to high humidity – mist occasionally or keep near other plants

• Soil: Use a light, well-draining mix (orchid bark, perlite, coco coir)

• Feeding: Fertilise monthly during spring and summer with a balanced or bloom-focused fertiliser

• Temperature: Best kept in 18–26°C – protect from cold drafts and sudden drops

🌿 Tip: Keep slightly rootbound and provide bright light to encourage flowering.
