Origin
The Hoya Burtoniae Variegated is a plant species originally found in the Philippines. The plant grows in the wild there, primarily in the mountainous and forested areas. The plant is named after Michael Burton, an American botanist who first described this species.

Characteristics
The Hoya Burtoniae Variegated is a semi-epiphytic vine, which means that it partly grows on other plants to absorb light and nutrients. The leaves of this plant are thick and waxy, alternating between green and white colours. The flowers of this Hoya species are striking: they have a star-like shape and are pink in colour.

Care
The Hoya Burtoniae Variegated requires light to semi-shade, but should not be placed directly in the sun. The plant does not tolerate cold well: temperatures below 10°C can be harmful. In addition, this plant species requires well-draining soil: excess water must therefore be able to flow away quickly. The plant has an average need for water and therefore only needs to be watered again when the soil has almost completely dried out.
