Hoya Kerrii Variegated (Variegated Sweetheart Hoya)

Hoya Kerrii Variegated is a rare and highly sought-after tropical vine known for its thick, heart-shaped leaves with beautiful cream, yellow, and green variegation. It is a slow-growing plant that can produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers when mature. Perfect for hanging baskets, trellises, or as an elegant indoor plant.

Care Guide

🌤 Light
Bright, indirect light is best. A few hours of gentle morning sun helps maintain vibrant variegation and encourages flowering. Avoid harsh afternoon sunlight.

💧 Water
Allow the top 3–5 cm of the potting mix to dry before watering. Water thoroughly and let excess water drain. Avoid overwatering, as Hoyas are susceptible to root rot.

💦 Humidity
Prefers moderate to high humidity (50–70%), but adapts well to average indoor humidity.

🌡 Temperature
Ideal temperature: 18–30°C. Protect from temperatures below 12°C.

🌱 Potting Mix
Use a chunky, fast-draining mix such as orchid bark, coco chips, perlite, and coco peat. Excellent drainage is essential.

🌿 Fertilizer
Feed once a month during spring and summer with a balanced liquid fertilizer at half strength.

✂ Maintenance

• Do not remove old flower spurs, as new blooms develop from the same spurs.
• Prune only dead or damaged vines.
• Repot every 2–3 years or when root-bound.

Suitable For
