Botanical Name: Hoya kerrii

Common Names: Sweetheart Hoya, Lucky-heart, Variegated Heartleaf Hoya

Overview: Hoya kerrii, affectionately known as the Sweetheart or Lucky-heart, is celebrated for its charming, heart-shaped foliage. This variegated variety adds a unique twist with splashes of bright yellow across its waxy, green leaves, making each one look like a piece of living art. Native to the tropical regions of Asia, this plant embodies the warmth and exotic flair of its homeland.

Cultivation Tips: Thriving in warm climates, the Hoya kerrii prefers environments that mimic tropical conditions. It requires moderate to bright indirect light to maintain the vibrancy of its variegation. Watering should be sparse, allowing the soil to dry out completely between waterings to prevent overwatering issues common in less thirsty plants. This Hoya is particularly hardy, capable of withstanding less than ideal conditions once established.

Features:

  • Striking Variegation: Each leaf is uniquely patterned with yellow variegation, making it a standout decorative piece.
  • Waxy, Wood-like Texture: The plant features thick, waxy leaves that grow from stout, wood-like vines, enhancing its robust appearance.
  • Slow Growth: Ideal for those who prefer plants that don't require frequent repotting or pruning. This single-leaf offering grows very slowly, focusing energy on sustaining its vivid leaf.
  • Ornamental Use: More of an ornamental piece than a needy houseplant, it's perfect for those looking for decor rather than a gardening challenge.
  • Novelty Gift Idea: Its heart shape and minimal care requirements make it an excellent choice for gifts, especially around occasions celebrating love and affection.

Please Note: The 4-inch plant offered is a single leaf cutting, which will not grow vines. This makes it ideal for use as a static decorative element in small spaces, such as office desks, windowsills, or as part of a larger plant display.

Ideal Placement: Place your Hoya kerrii in a spot with bright, indirect light, such as near a shaded window or in a well-lit room where it can enjoy the warmth without direct exposure to harsh sunlight. Its compact size and slow growth make it suitable for terrariums or small, decorative pots that complement modern home decor styles.
