Hoya Kerrii ‘Hearts’ Sweetheart Plant
The iconic heart-shaped Hoya — waxy, semi-succulent, and available from a single heart up to a full trailing trellis of 10+ hearts.
The Hoya Kerrii is the Sweetheart plant — perfectly heart-shaped waxy leaves that trail and vine with lush foliage and gorgeous blooms given the right care. Each plant comes with at least 2 nodes to support continued healthy growth. Needs bright light and drying between waterings, and grows beautifully in hanging pots or on elevated shelves. A perfect plant for novice houseplant owners and a genuinely memorable gift.
What I love about it
The Hoya Kerrii is the plant that makes people smile the moment they see it. The heart-shaped leaves are genuinely perfect — they look almost too good to be real — and the waxy, semi-succulent quality means they stay looking beautiful with minimal care. The 8" trellis option with 10+ hearts is particularly stunning — a full, lush display that looks like it took years to achieve. Beginner-friendly, long-lived, and one of the best gift plants you can give.
