Care Instructions
Care Instructions
🪴 General care: Easy
Hoya Sweetheart Variegated, also known as the Hoya Kerrii, is an easy-care, slow-growing plant perfect for beginners. Its heart-shaped, variegated leaves make it a charming and unique addition to any plant collection.
It’s a hardy plant that can tolerate some neglect and is well-suited to indoor environments.
💦 Water: Low to Moderate
Hoya Sweetheart Variegated prefers to be kept on the drier side. Water it thoroughly when the top 2-3 inches of soil feel dry, usually every 2-3 weeks, depending on your environment.
Its succulent-like leaves store water, so overwatering can lead to root rot. Make sure the pot has proper drainage.
☀️ Light: Bright Indirect
This Hoya variety thrives in bright, indirect light, though it can handle some direct sunlight. The variegation will be more pronounced in brighter light, but too much direct sun can cause the leaves to scorch.
In lower light conditions, growth may slow down, and the variegation might become less vibrant.
🌱 Growth: Slow-growing, compact plant
Hoya Sweetheart Variegated is slow-growing and compact, with thick, heart-shaped leaves. While it typically stays small, with the right care, it can eventually grow into a long vine.
✂️ Maintenance: Low
This Hoya is low-maintenance and doesn’t require frequent pruning. Remove any dead or yellowing leaves to keep it healthy.
Because it grows slowly, it doesn’t need repotting often. Clean the leaves occasionally to remove dust and allow the plant to breathe.
