Gabriella Plants Hoya sp. aff. burtoniae

Yes, this plant is considered non-toxic to both cats and dogs, making it a great choice for households with curious pets.

These markings appear when the plant is exposed to bright, direct light for several hours a day. While it thrives in bright, indirect light, gradually introducing it to stronger light will encourage the foliage to develop that signature purple hue.

Allow the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Because it is an epiphyte, it prefers a well-draining environment and does not like to sit in soggy soil, so ensure your pot has adequate drainage.

Yes, with enough bright, indirect light, this Hoya can produce fragrant blooms. A unique feature of this species is that it blooms from the same peduncles, or flower stalks, year after year, so be sure not to trim them off after the flowers fade.

While it has a natural trailing habit that looks beautiful in a hanging basket, you can certainly train it onto a trellis or support if you prefer an upright, climbing look.
