Hoya kerrii aka Sweetheart Plant

Sweetheart Plant is a low-maintenance plant that requires minimal attention, making it an excellent choice for beginners.

Sweetheart Plant does best in dry soil and should only be watered sparingly.

Sweetheart Plant loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Sweetheart Plant prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

During the cold period, it is common for Sweetheart Plant to go dormant and their growth may slow down, so waterings should be spaced out more during this period.

Sweetheart Plant is not known to cause harm to humans or pets.

The Sweetheart Plant is not in need of supplementary humidity. Most water is taken in by plants through their roots, thus soil watering is the most efficient way to provide humidity to your plants.

The Sweetheart Plant should be repotted either when it doubles in size or annually, whichever comes first. Providing new potting soil with all the vital nutrients annually is enough to support the growth of the plant, and thus, there is no need for fertilizer. Remember that plants derive their energy from the sun, not fertilizer.

Sweetheart Plant’s native range is Southeast Asia and Australia.

If you provide your Sweetheart Plant with adequate amounts of sunlight and water, it will bloom.
