Sweetheart Hoya kerrii Vine, 4-Inch Pot
Unlike a single-heart leaf cutting, this Sweetheart Hoya kerrii is a vining plant with multiple thick, green heart-shaped leaves along its stems. Let it grow from a bright shelf or offer a small support. Leaf number, spacing, and vine length vary naturally.
Size and what ships
One live Hoya kerrii vine in a 4-inch nursery grow pot. Exact plant height, fullness, and vine length at shipping vary. Given time and suitable care, vines can lengthen and grow more heart-shaped leaves; mature length is not the size delivered. Flowering is possible on established plants but is not guaranteed.
Optional decorative planters
Style your plant with the black BASEL 4.7-inch planter or the white BASEL 4.7-inch planter. Decorative planters are sold separately and are not included; the Hoya ships in its 4-inch nursery grow pot. Furnishings are not included.
Care guide
- Light: Provide bright indirect light, with gentle morning sun if conditions allow. Protect leaves from harsh afternoon sun.
- Water: Let much of the potting mix dry between thorough waterings, then allow excess to drain. Check the pot rather than watering on a fixed schedule.
- Soil: Use a chunky, airy, well-draining mix in a pot with drainage. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. Amend with bark and perlite as needed to keep the mix chunky and airy.
- Temperature and humidity: Keep warm, away from frost and cold drafts. Average indoor humidity is usually fine; moderate humidity may support active growth.
- Feeding: Feed lightly during active spring and summer growth, if needed, with a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
- Pruning and support: Allow vines to trail or guide them onto a small support. Trim above a node to shape growth, but avoid removing old flower spurs if present.
- Repotting: Repot when roots crowd the container, moving only one pot size up into fresh, airy mix. Use drainage holes and maintain the original planting depth.
- Propagation: Root stem cuttings with at least one node in an airy, lightly moist medium. A single leaf without a node does not reliably make a vine.
Pet safety
Hoya is generally considered non-toxic to cats and dogs.
