Hoya Burtoniae prefers bright indirect light. Brighter light will result in better color of the foliage but avoid direct sun which may burn the foliage.

The leaves of Hoya Burtoniae are waxy and succulent, and it will tolerate minimum levels of watering. We recommend allowing the soil to nearly completely dry out between waterings. The number one sign of underwatering is drooping, wilted leaves. You can tell if you are overwatering by the leaves yellowing and falling off. Overwatering may eventually lead to root rot.
