Hoya kerrii, commonly known as the Sweetheart Plant, is a charming trailing houseplant loved for its thick, heart-shaped leaves and easy-going nature. Native to Southeast Asia, this slow-growing Hoya can eventually develop long climbing vines and clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers when mature. Unlike the single-leaf "Valentine" plants often sold as novelty gifts, this is a multi-node plant, meaning it has active growth points and the potential to continue growing into a beautiful trailing or climbing specimen over time. Its succulent-like foliage makes it forgiving of occasional missed waterings, making it a wonderful choice for both beginners and collectors.
Plant Care
Light Bright indirect light is best. A little gentle morning sun can help maintain strong variegation.
Watering Allow the potting mix to dry out almost completely between waterings. The thick leaf stores water, making it tolerant of occasional neglect.
Temperature Prefers temperatures between 18–30°C and should be protected from cold draughts and frost.
Potting Plant in a free-draining mix. At Plant Studio, The Airy Aroid works well.
Hot Tips Provide a trellis or moss pole if you'd like your Hoya to climb, or allow it to trail naturally from a shelf or hanging planter. Hoyas generally flower more readily when slightly root-bound, so resist the urge to pot up too frequently. With patience and the right conditions, mature plants may produce clusters of waxy, sweetly scented flowers.
Pet Friendly Yes. Hoya kerrii is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
