Hoya Kerrii

Description

There are quite a few Hoya’s out there which make ideal houseplants, Hoya kerrii or the Sweetheart Plant is one of them. It’s become increasingly popular in recent years, being quite easy to propagate and therefore making it rather cheap to grow and sell on, along with its unusual and quirky “heart” shape leaves, makes it perfect for the marketers to work their magic. This is because it appeals to anyone looking for something a bit odd or for that special novelty gift to give their plant enthusiast friend or lover a chuckle.

The downside is that the Sweetheart Plant today is usually sold as this single small leaf in a small pot but the Sweetheart Plant in this form does not grow quickly so it’s fun for 5 minutes then it can be rather boring!

All is not lost however. It’s easy to spin this negativity around; because this is one of the easier houseplants to look after and care for, letting you get away with only occasional attention. In fact it would probably tolerate only one watering a month it’s that hardy.

Also if you have that sole leaf long enough and treat it respectfully (or cheat and buy a more mature plant with several leaves already on the go) you’ll end up with something much more beautiful and striking. This is because a larger plant with multiple unusual shaped leaves, as you might be able to guess, looks like a bush of green hearts! Very interesting and possibly very romantic.

For the right person this is the perfect Valentine’s gift to give or receive and this is the reason this plant sometimes goes by the name Valentine Hoya.

The flowers, like most Hoya’s, are stunning as the contrast in the flowering parts are really bold. The all green variety tends to grow more quickly (although it’s still slow by most houseplant standards) and it’s arguably more hardy, but it also comes in a pretty variegated variety
