🌞 Light & Placement
Prefers bright, indirect light to encourage flowering. Morning or late-afternoon sun from an east or west-facing window is ideal. Hoya burtoniae also adapts well to grow lights in darker European interiors.
💧 Water & Humidity
Allow the top 3–4 cm of soil to dry out before watering. Overwatering can cause root rot. Enjoys moderate humidity (40–60%), but tolerates average indoor levels — making it a great fit for most European apartments.
🪴 Soil & Potting
Use a well-draining mix such as orchid bark, perlite, and coco coir. Hoyas prefer snug pots, so don’t size up too quickly. Repot every 2–3 years or when roots begin to circle the pot. Our Hoya soil blend ensures optimal drainage and aeration.
🐾 Toxicity & Safety
Pet-safe! Hoya burtoniae is non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it perfect for pet-friendly households.
🌱 Growth & Propagation
Moderate grower with trailing stems that can reach over 1 meter. Propagate easily by stem cuttings with 1–2 nodes in water or moist sphagnum moss. Roots form within a few weeks under warm, bright conditions.
📆 Seasonal & Special Care
Feed every 4–6 weeks during spring and summer with a balanced, low-nitrogen fertilizer to support blooming. Reduce watering in winter. Avoid moving the plant once buds appear — Hoyas dislike disturbance during flowering.
🐛 Common Issues
- No blooms → insufficient light or overfertilization
- Yellowing leaves → overwatering or poor drainage
- Check for mealybugs or aphids on stems and leaf joints
🧬 Botanical Background
