Hello plant friends ✨🌿💛 A Thursday #TheWateringHole Appr...
Hello plant friends ✨🌿💛 A Thursday #TheWateringHole Appreciation Post for my dear Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae. I don’t care that you can get him anywhere, I think you SHOULD go get him. In fact, your task, should you choose to accept it, is to go out and find yourself one, after reading this post. He is my favorite. 🤫🤐 Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae is sold and often mislabeled under many names:
-Hoya burtoniae (unless you’re ordering from a collector/reputable dealer who has a ‘true’ species burtoniae, most likely if you’re getting this plant in the commercial US market, it will be “Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae.” Which means an unnamed species that looks quite similar to the actual burtoniae.)
-H. DS-70
-H. bilobata (real bilobata will have smooth leaves)
-H. tsangii (same, true tsangii has smooth leaves)
But my dear beloved sp. aff. burtoniae (and the true burtoniae) have leaves like velvet suede. A truly pet-able, emotional support hoya. Even my siblings (who are not as flora-philic as I am) dropped their mouths open in awe as they touched his leaves.
His baby leaves, and he has MANY at all times, come out an adorable rose-mauve pink color. 🥹🥰💀 Right now he has two peduncles and I am waiting with bated breath to see them open. Supposed to be a butterscotch/caramel-y scent and I just cannot wait!!
And, oh my gosh it’s the 27th! I kid you not, I just realized that today is his ONE year anniversary of coming to his forever home 😱😭🎂🥳🎊 He is The One who started me on my hoya journey, exactly one year ago today. 🥹 My first hoya and *still* my favorite, even though he’s now joined by 40 or so hoya siblings and relations. Gotta catch em all! And really, 40 out of 700 possible hoya species and cultivars is quite a low number. In the grand scheme of things. 🙂↕️

@MusicalRedmint 💛 Thank you 😊 He does just seem to exude a cheerful energy. I just love him!
I am on high alert looking for a hanhiae 😱 Yours is so stunning. 🤩
👋 waving from my chaos cave to yours 😆😅

@DreamMachine your sp. aff. burtoniae (now simply referred to as burtoniae 🤪) is a beautiful specimen!!! Flawless! I cannot wait to see his flowers 🥹 and see what you think of the scent 👃. Happy 1 year anniversary to you and the little guy joining up! 🎉🥳🎊. I see many prolific years together. He’ll be your heirloom Hoya you pass on to your daughter 💚
@DreamMachine - Nadia, you are 110% CORRECT about this 1️⃣
When I first got mine, everyone told me NOT to put it outside. Well as we speak, it has 27 peduncles. NOOOO JOKE 😳
Aside from that, the amount of growth it has put out in the last year has been incredible!
(I’ve also had mine for 1️⃣ YEAR 😍 which is pretty 🆒 They can be twin brudders 🤪)
It is in full sun 6+ hours a day and then once the cold season rolls in, it goes in my garage for the winter!
Even in the garage, it’s in full bloom!
THIS IS MY FAVORITE HOYA BY FARRRR 🤩🤩
PS - Congrats on your baby 💕 He’s ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL 🥰
But one thing I don’t understand is the scent. Either my nose doesn’t work or mine doesn’t smell 🤦🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
