Sweetheart hoya plant, also known as Valentine plant or sweetheart wax plant, is a type of Hoya appropriately named for its thick, succulent, heart-shaped leaves. Like other Hoya varieties, sweetheart hoya plant is a stunning, low-maintenance indoor plant.
Sweetheart hoya care isn’t complicated or involved, but the plant is somewhat particular about its growing conditions. This Valentine hoya tolerates relatively low light, but not full shade. However, the plant performs best and is more likely to bloom in bright or indirect sunlight. Room temperatures should be maintained between 60 and 80 F. or 15 and 26 C. With its fleshy, succulent leaves, sweetheart hoya is relatively drought-tolerant and can get by with as little as one or two waterings per month. Water deeply when the soil is slightly dry to the touch, then let the pot drain thoroughly. Although the soil should never become bone dry, wet, soggy soil can result in deadly rot. Be sure sweetheart hoya is planted in a pot with a drainage hole. Sweetheart hoya is a light feeder and requires little fertilizer. A light solution of balanced, water-soluble houseplant fertilizer mixed at a rate of ¼ teaspoon (1 ml.) in a gallon of water is plenty. Feed the plant once a month during the growing season and discontinue feeding in winter. If a mature plant doesn’t bloom, try exposing the plant to brighter light or cooler nighttime temperatures.
Water your Hoya Kerri deeply when the soil is slightly dry, approximately once or twice a month. Ensure the pot drains thoroughly to prevent root rot, as the plant is drought-tolerant and prefers not to sit in soggy soil.
Hoya Kerri thrives in bright, indirect light but can tolerate relatively low light conditions. Avoid placing it in full shade or direct sunlight, especially during the UAE summer, to prevent foliage damage.
Hoya Kerri is generally considered non-toxic to pets and children. However, it's always best to keep plants out of reach to prevent any accidental ingestion or damage to the plant.
Hoya Kerri prefers room temperatures between 15 and 26 degrees Celsius (60 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit). Maintaining these temperatures will support healthy growth and potential blooming.
