Hoya burtoniae variegata is a variegated cultivated plant grown for small oval leaves patterned in green, cream and yellow-green. It keeps the small-leaved vining habit associated with Hoya burtoniae, with each leaf showing its own balance of green and pale tissue.
The paler parts of the leaf contain less chlorophyll, so these shoots can grow more slowly. Care should follow the actual drying speed of the pot, especially while new variegated shoots are developing.
This plant grows as a slender vine with leaves arranged along flexible stems. Variegation can vary from leaf to leaf, with some shoots showing broader pale sections and others carrying more green. Shoots with some green tissue usually develop more reliably than almost all-pale growth, especially on a small plant.
Like green Hoya burtoniae, this variegated plant needs a mix that holds light moisture but quickly restores air pockets around the roots. Use warm conditions, careful watering and infrequent repotting while new variegated shoots harden.
Hoya burtoniae variegata is an ornamental plant. Keep leaves, flowers and pruned stems away from pets and children that chew plants. Wash hands after cutting stems if fresh sap irritates your skin.
Hoya belongs to the Apocynaceae family and the genus name honours Thomas Hoy. Hoya burtoniae Kloppenb. itself is an accepted species from Luzon in the Philippines, where it grows as an epiphyte or lithophyte in wet tropical habitat.
Hoya burtoniae variegata keeps a small trailing scale, with cream and yellow-green patterning that changes from leaf to leaf.
