Hoya burtoniae variegated hbv001

Hoya Burtoniae (Inner Variegated)

The Hoya burtoniae (inner variegated) or sometimes frewquently misnamed (variegata) is a fresh kind of hoya for collectors. This hoya has oval, fleshy leaves that come in a range of pink, green, and yellow tones in variegation. Often the variegation is a cream white to yellowish green color, which may turn a bit red or pink when the plant is sun-stressed. It looks best in hanging pots or macrames and has a lovely, overhanging habit. Small, lustrous burgundy blooms start to bloom during the flowering stage. It is considered a collector’s hoya because of its variegation pattern and difficulty in cultivation. 

This vine has a lovely appearance and is really unusual. The oval-shaped leaves on this plant are delicate and pale green. Variegation features a blending of colours, such as green, yellow, and a touch of pink, on the leaves of this unusual hoya. Given how infrequently this unique variety of hoya is offered for purchase, it would make the ideal present for a fan of the species.
