Hoya DS70 is similar to the Hoya burtoniae with velvety leaves. We aren‘t completely certain of their differences to burtoniae, but our reputable grower identified these specific specimens as DS70, so here we are! These are the variegated DS70 so they have a nice variation of colors and variegation patterns. Colors ranging from blushing yellows to pinks. GENERAL CAREHoya grow best in bright, indirect light. Water only when the soil is completely dry as hoyas prefer a good wet/dry cycle and do not like being consistently moist. Hoyas also prefer to be “pot-bound” so only repot when necessary and pot in a tight pot, only slightly large in size to the one it is currently in. Plant in well-draining potting soil with added perlite and bark for good drainage. Native to tropical/sub-tropical regions in Eastern Asia and Australia, hoya are considered a semi-epiphytic plant, meaning they begin their lives with roots in the soil, then use adventitious roots along their stems to climb nearby trees, anchoring for support along the way. BONUS: Hoyas are pet friendly and have fragrant flowers!
