Hoya Kerrii

A favourite Hoya from our collection! The "Sweetheart" or Hoya Kerrii as it's more commonly know is a favourite among any hoya grower, well know for their heart shaped leaves, great for those romantics at heart too! This well established Hoya will come in a 9 cm nursery pot and already has new growth, which will emerge even more in the next month or so provided optimal conditions. 

Loves a warm but bright spot but with a good amount air movement. It likes a bit of humidity too if you can provide it.  I’ve found mine does like to climb, so give it something when new tendrils shoot out. Feed with some liquid orchid fertiliser to encourage blooming during the growing season.

Provide shelter for it in winter, do not overwater! It does not like wet feet. It prefers dry conditions over wet conditions as it has succulent leaves that store water well. 

Water only when the soil is completely bone dry, let it dry out absolutely between waterings, and then only when the leaves start to soften slightly. Never when the leaves are still firm. Feed weekly with diluted plant food during the growing season.
