Hoya kerii, also sometimes known as the "Sweetheart Plant", is beloved for its distinctive heart-shaped leaves, which grow thick and waxy. Native to Southeast Asia, Hoya kerii is a succulent vine that can reach impressive lengths over time. It thrives in bright, indirect light and requires minimal watering, making it an ideal low-maintenance plant. This plant is commonly potted as single-leaf cuttings and do not grow additional leaves, but we prefer to grow ours as a vine sporting multiple hearts!

Please note: Hoya kerii "bleeds" latex when propagated (the white sap you may see pictured on the plant). This latex serves to protect the plant by sealing cuts and helps to deter pests in the process. This is all very normal and healthy for keriis and other bleeding hoyas!

As with other plants in this genus, this hoya is pet friendly.
