Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae 'Variegata' D6 - 2 plants/pot

Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae 'Variegata' is the commercial name for an unpublished Hoya closely related to Hoya burtoniae. The pubescent foliage displays true variegation: cream or yellow areas on the leaf blade, sometimes with pink accents on young shoots. It is not splash variegation. The growth habit is compact and trailing. The small, burgundy-red flowers are described as having a honey fragrance. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and variegation. The leaves are pubescent, relatively thick, with visible venation, and often larger than those of Hoya burtoniae. Green areas alternate with cream sections. In intense light, the foliage may develop reddish or burgundy tones; this coloration is a response to growing conditions, not variegation. The pattern’s intensity varies; the same pot may contain both variegated vines and vines that have reverted to green. Vine length varies from one specimen to another.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are small, almost spherical, burgundy-red, with a lighter corona, and are grouped in compact umbels. The fragrance is described as strong, with a honey note. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The formula sp. aff. burtoniae indicates an incompletely identified plant with affinities to Hoya burtoniae Kloppenb., an accepted species from Luzon. It is not a published species name and is not “endemic” as a taxon. In horticultural sources, the material has also been incorrectly labeled as Hoya bilobata or Hoya tsangii. Its placement in section Acanthostemma remains a useful horticultural reference.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

Substrate: use an airy, well-draining mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
