Hoya aff. burtoniae X (seedling no.1)

Origin and Description:
This hybrid is something I’m really excited to share—Hoya aff. burtoniae X (Seedling No. 1) came about through open pollination, and I believe Hoya 'Sunrise' might be the pollen parent. It was gifted to me by a generous friend, Ara, and it has become one of my favorites due to its unique and vibrant foliage. The leaves are different from its mother plant, Hoya aff. burtoniae, with striking colors and textures that really stand out. It’s such a beautiful mix, and I love how each leaf seems to carry a bit of mystery from its hybrid nature.

Natural Habitat:
Even though this is a hybrid, its parent plants come from tropical regions. Hoya aff. burtoniae is from the Philippines, where it grows in warm, humid environments. This hybrid has inherited those same preferences, making it easy to care for indoors if you can mimic those tropical conditions.

Care Instructions:

• Light: I’ve found it does best in bright, indirect light. Direct sunlight can burn the leaves, so I try to avoid that.
• Watering: I water it once the top inch of soil feels dry, making sure it’s in a well-draining mix to prevent any root rot.
• Humidity: It loves higher humidity—around 60-80%. If your space is dry, a little misting or a humidifier can really help.
• Temperature: Keep it in warm temperatures between 65-80°F (18-27°C), and make sure to protect it from drafts or temps below 55°F.
• Soil: A well-draining mix, like orchid bark, coco husk, and perlite, works great for this plant.

Interesting Fact:
This seedling has been such a fun discovery. Since it was open-pollinated, and Hoya 'Sunrise' might be the pollen parent, the foliage turned out completely different from its mother, Hoya aff. burtoniae. I love how vibrant and unique it is—definitely one for collectors who enjoy having something a little unexpected and special in their collection!
