Hoya Heart
Hoya kerrii
Often sold as a single, rooted heart leaf for Valentine’s Day, the Hoya Kerrii is a robust, slow-growing succulent climber. It requires very patience to grow into a long vine but needs practically zero daily maintenance.

Care Guide
Water thoroughly only once every two weeks or when the thick leaf feels slightly soft.
Keep it in bright, indirect light; it can even handle a few hours of direct morning sun.
Plant in extremely well-draining succulent soil to ensure water never collects around its delicate root system.
Common Problems & Solutions
My single Hoya Heart leaf hasn't grown a stem in two years. Why?
If sold as simply a leaf cut without a node, it will survive for years but will unfortunately never grow a vine. It is a 'blind leaf'.
Why is my Hoya leaf starting to turn yellow and mushy?
This is almost certainly root rot brought on by planting it in dense soil and overwatering it.
