GENERAL INFORMATION
- The Sweetheart Hoya Plant, also known as the Valentine plant or sweetheart wax plant, is a type of Hoya appropriately named for its thick, succulent, heart-shaped leaves.
- Like other Hoya varieties, the sweetheart hoya plant is a stunning, low-maintenance indoor plant.
- Although the plant is relatively slow-growing, it appreciates a hanging basket, where it eventually becomes a bushy mass of green hearts.
- Mature plants can reach lengths of up to 13 feet (4 m.).
SOIL REQUIREMENT
- The H. Kerrii prefers a soil mix well-draining, neutral, and mildly acidic.
- Ideally, use an orchid pot soil or chopped coconut husk to grow this plant.

FEEDING/FERTILIZER REQUIREMENT
- Only a little feeding is required if the plant is small or exists as a single leaf. Twice a year at most.
- If you're an older plant or that single leaf is throwing out new shoots you can feed a little more.
LIGHT REQUIREMENT
- This plant will need a reasonable lightroom in order to actually grow, although it will still get by even if you pick a shadier spot, very dark places need to be avoided though. Sunlight is acceptable too, so in reality, you could position it almost anywhere in your home or office.
WATER REQUIREMENT
- With its succulent qualities, it's quite adept at storing water for longish periods of time between waterings.
- This makes it a hardy and undemanding plant for the most part, of course only providing basic care will result in a surviving rather than a thriving plant, so where possible wait until the soil has dried out a little and then water again.
