Product Description

Hoya kerrii

Say hello to the sweetest plant around! The Hoya Heart is a single, perfectly heart-shaped leaf that makes the ultimate symbol of love, luck, or just plain cuteness. Thick and semi-succulent, it’s rooted to stay in its adorable one-leaf form—though every once in a while, a lucky plant parent will see it grow into a vine. Either way, it’s a true conversation starter.

Loves bright, indirect light and doesn’t mind drying out a bit between waterings.

SM: ~2–4" tall in a 4" pot.
MD: ~4–6" tall in a 6" pot.
XL: ~6–8" tall in a 10" pot.

Hoya Heart Care Guide

About Hoya Heart Plant 

The Hoya Heart (Hoya kerrii), often called the Sweetheart Hoya or Heart-Shaped Hoya Plant, is a slow-growing succulent known for its thick, heart-shaped leaves. Native to Southeast Asia, this charming plant belongs to the Apocynaceae family and thrives in warm, tropical climates. As a drought-tolerant succulent, the Kerrii Hoya adapts well to USDA hardiness zones 11-12 and makes a long-lasting indoor houseplant in cooler regions.

It’s generally considered easy to care for, and its compact shape makes it ideal for smaller spaces. The Hoya Heart Plant is also pet-friendly, making it an excellent choice for homes with pets or children.

Symbolically, the Heart Leaf Hoya represents love, devotion, and lasting friendship, making it a popular gift choice.

Hoya Heart Care: Growing Tips

The Hoya Heart succulent is a low-maintenance plant, making it ideal for both novice and experienced plant enthusiasts. With the right lighting, watering schedule, and a well-draining soil mix, this cute and hardy plant remains healthy for years. 

Hoya Heart: Light Requirements & Temperature

  • Light: Your Hoya kerrii heart prefers bright, indirect sunlight. It can tolerate some morning sun, but intense afternoon rays may scorch its leaf surface. A spot near an east- or west-facing window works best. 
  • Temperature: Keep the Sweetheart Hoya kerrii in warm indoor temperatures between 65°F and 80°F. It is not frost-tolerant and should be kept away from drafts, cold windows, and sudden temperature changes. 

Hoya Heart: Watering & Humidity

  • Watering: Allow the soil to dry out completely before watering. The Hoya Heart plant grows as a single leaf or a slow-growing vine and stores a significant amount of moisture, so it only requires light watering every few weeks. 
  • Humidity: Humidity levels around 40-60% are suitable. While Kerrii Hoya comes from humid regions, it adapts well to typical indoor environments without extra misting. 

Hoya Heart: Soil, Fertilizer, and Repotting

  • Soil: Choose a fast-draining, gritty soil mix such as cactus or succulent blend. Adding perlite increases drainage and helps prevent waterlogged roots.
  • Fertilizer: Feed lightly once a month during spring and summer with a diluted succulent or balanced houseplant fertilizer. 
  • Repotting: Repotting is rarely needed. Hoya kerrii plants typically come as a single rooted leaf or juvenile plant that grows slowly. It’s normal to keep it in the same pot for several years. 

Hoya Heart: Propagation

Propagation is typically done through stem cuttings if you are growing Hoya kerri as a vine. Cut a segment with at least one node, allow it to callous briefly, then place it in well-draining soil or water. A single-leaf Hoya Heart plant cannot be propagated.

Hoya Heart Plant: Problems and Pruning

Most issues arise from overwatering, which can lead to yellowing, mushy leaves, or root rot. Pests like mealybugs or spider mites may appear in dry indoor environments. A single-leaf Hoya Heart plant doesn’t require pruning.
