Meet Hoya kerrii—the heart-leaf icon. Thick green heart-shaped leaves make her instantly recognisable, while mature vine plants can become beautiful trailing or climbing specimens. Sweet, sculptural and slow-growing, she is a lovely choice for bright warm spaces.

  • The Formal Name: Hoya kerrii
  • The Nickname: Sweetheart Hoya
  • Roots: A Hoya species from tropical Southeast Asia.
  • Natural Vibe: Warm forest edges where waxy vines climb or trail in filtered light with airy roots.

Care Guide
  • Care Guide:
  • Sunlight: She prefers bright indirect light and can enjoy a little soft morning or evening sun.
  • Best Room: A bright shelf, hanging pot or warm windowsill where the vines can trail freely.
  • Snacks: Feed lightly every 4–6 weeks in spring and summer; a bloom-supporting feed can help mature plants flower.
  • Tropical Feels: Average humidity is usually fine, though she appreciates a little extra moisture in the air.
  • Cosy Factor: Keep her warm at 18–26°C and away from cold draughts.
  • Thirst: Let the mix dry partly between waterings, then water thoroughly and drain well.
  • Safety First: Generally considered pet-safer, but keep away from pets and small hands to avoid chewing, sap mess or stomach upset.
  • The Bedding: Use a chunky, airy mix with bark, perlite and a little coco or peat-free base.
  • Family Tree: Propagate from stem cuttings with nodes, ideally in warm bright conditions.
  • Space Needs: Lovely in a hanging pot or on a shelf where the vines can spill or climb.
  • Speed: A steady grower that may flower once mature and settled; avoid moving her constantly.
  • Uninvited Guests: Watch for mealybugs, scale and aphids around new growth and flower peduncles.
  • Moving Day: Repot only when needed; many hoyas flower better when slightly snug in the pot.
  • Haircut: Trim only where needed and do not remove old flower peduncles, as many hoyas rebloom from them.
  • Fresh Air: A waxy-leaved trailing plant with a soft collector feel and beautiful flowering potential.
  • Plant Lore: The heart-shaped leaves made this Hoya famous, but the true joy is watching a proper vine form mature over time.
