Details

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.

Feeding: Fertilize with a diluted cactus or succulent fertilizer every 6-8 weeks during the growing season.

Soil: Use a well-draining succulent or cactus mix to prevent root rot.

Frequently Asked Questions

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.
