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.
Cold exposure can happen in your area or during transit. If temperatures may drop below 50°F anywhere along the route, we recommend adding Winter Plant Shipping Protection at checkout. It may include heat packs, thermal liners, or upgraded shipping based on conditions.
Cold damage is covered only when selected. Without it, weather-related damage isn’t covered.
