The Hoya Sweetheart, also known as the Valentine Hoya or Sweetheart Plant, is a charming succulent with thick, heart-shaped leaves that have captured the hearts of plant lovers everywhere. Its adorable shape and compact size make it an ideal gift for loved ones or a sweet addition to your own collection.
This slow-growing, low-maintenance plant is native to Southeast Asia and is typically sold as a single heart leaf cutting, often potted as a standalone piece of botanical art. Please note: the 4" plant is a leaf cutting and will not grow vines. If you're looking for a vining specimen, be sure to purchase a rooted cutting with a node.
Common Names: Sweetheart Hoya, Valentine Hoya, Hoya Heart
Botanical Name: Hoya kerrii
Size: Typically sold as a single 2-4 inch leaf; full vines can reach several feet with proper care.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid intense direct sun, which can scorch the leaf.
Water: Allow the soil to dry completely between waterings. Water sparingly, especially in winter.
Humidity: Adapts to average indoor humidity; benefits from occasional misting.
Feeding: Fertilize with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.
Temperature: Ideal range is 65°F to 80°F; avoid temperatures below 50°F.
Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.
1. Will my Hoya Sweetheart grow into a vine?
Only rooted leaves with a node can grow into a vine. The 4" plant we offer is a leaf cutting and will not vine.
2. When should I repot my Hoya Sweetheart?
Repot only when the plant has clearly outgrown its container. This usually takes 1-2 years for established vines.
3. Can I propagate the Hoya Sweetheart?
Yes, but propagation requires a leaf with a node. Rooting is best done in water or moist soil.
4. What’s the best fertilizer for this plant?
Use a cactus or succulent fertilizer, or natural options like diluted fish emulsion or seaweed extract.
5. Why is my Hoya leaf turning yellow?
Yellowing is often a sign of overwatering. Ensure the soil dries out fully between waterings.
