Hoya kerrii has perfectly heart-shaped bright green leaves that emerge on vining stems. Aptly nicknamed the Sweetheart Hoya or Heart-leaf Hoya, this slow grower is most commonly sold only as a single rooted leaf around Valentine's Day. We're fortunate enough to have more mature specimens, some already putting out long tendrils from woody bases. Like all Hoyas (aka wax plants), clusters of star-shaped flowers will eventually emerge along the stems. Happy to climb up a trellis or cascade over the sides of its pot, Hoya kerrii is one of those must-have plants for any collector.

Hoya kerrii is semi-succulent, with thick waxy leaves, flowers and stems. Drought tolerant, place your Sweetheart Hoya where it will receive bright indirect light, and allow to dry out between watering’s.

Hoya's are climbing houseplants used outdoors in mild climates. They have thick waxy, evergreen leaves and tight clusters of small flowers and are commonly grown in sunny windows. A hoya plant does best in rich, loose, well-drained soil and blooms best when pot bound; they are usually grown in containers even outdoors. Do not prune out flowering wood; new blossom clusters appear from stumps of old ones.
With the right light, temperature, and watering, your hoya plants should thrive and give you the beautiful blooms you expect.

We grow and shipour hoya’s in a 4" 6" or a 8” hanging basket plastic nursery pot. Leaves measure 3-4" long and 2-3" wide. Each 4" specimen has 2-3 leaves with some vine development, and each 6" specimen has multiple vining stems, approximately 5-8" in length. Some natural variation in size and appearance may occur.
