Quick Guide
- Vibrant, variegated leaves
- Delicate star-shaped blooms
- Air-purifying qualities
- Perfect for hanging baskets
- Hardy indoor choice
The Hoya Burtoniae Variegata, more commonly known to UK audiences as the Variegated Wax Plant, is a mesmerising indoor plant showcasing vibrant green and cream-coloured variegated leaves. Its aesthetic beauty is amplified when it produces delicate, star-shaped blooms, adding an elegant touch to any home. Perfectly suited for hanging baskets or shelf displays, this plant not only brings natural beauty but also purifies the air around it. Reaching a modest maximum height and spread, it doesn't require frequent trimming. While it primarily thrives indoors, given the right conditions, it can also adorn outdoor spaces during warmer months. Complementary plants include other Hoyas and ferns which share similar care needs and aesthetic features.
Plant Care Guide
Ensure you have a pot with proper drainage and occasional misting tools for optimal growth. This plant prefers a well-draining soil mix, regular but not excessive watering, ensuring the soil is slightly dry between waterings. Light misting promotes higher humidity, mimicking its natural tropical habitat. Feed with a diluted liquid fertiliser once a month during growing seasons. The Variegated Wax Plant enjoys bright, indirect light; direct sunlight may harm its foliage. Ensure the plant remains in a consistent environment, avoiding sudden temperature changes and drafts.

Third-Party Couriers
For London postcodes outside a 5-mile radius of our Kentish Town garden centre, we may occasionally use a third-party courier for delivery. In these cases, we try our best to still deliver the items in the requested delivery time slot but please be aware that occasionally this may not always be possible and is out of our control.
Delivery Discrepancies
Please check your order as soon as it arrives. If there is any discrepancy — such as a missing, incorrect, or damaged item — please contact us within 48 hours of delivery so we can put things right. After this time, we will assume the order was received complete and in good condition. We are unable to take responsibility for damage that has occurred after this period.
Click & Collect
We encourage you to collect from our garden centre in Kentish Town — it saves on delivery costs and gives you the chance to see our full range of plants and products in person.
All Click & Collect orders must be collected within 7 days of being ready, unless a later date has been arranged with us in advance. If an order is not collected within this time, it will be cancelled and a refund issued.
Returns Policy
If you need to return an item, please contact us within 14 days of receipt to arrange a return or exchange. Products must be in their original condition and packaging. Plants may be non-refundable unless they arrive damaged or defective.
Items bought in-store or collected can be returned directly at the garden centre. If you would like us to collect a return and it is in good condition (e.g. you have changed your mind), it must be in its original condition, and the same delivery cost will apply for the return.
Plants marked as reduced for end-of-season clearance are non-refundable, as they are sold specifically to clear stock. This does not apply to special offers or multibuy promotions, which are eligible for returns as per our standard terms.
