    Loved by plant people

Hoya kerrii, also known as the "Sweetheart Plant" is an easy to care for tropical indoor plant with thick, succulent heart shaped leaves.   This vining plant grows well in a hanging basket, but we prefer to allow them to climb for a more dramatic effect.

Hoya kerrii is a relatively slow grower but the real treat is when it flowers.  The flowers on this species are magnificent!

Hoya kerrii care:

Make sure your new plant is in a well draining soil that is rich in organic matter.  Allow your plant to dry out almost completely between watering, taking care to not allow it to sit in excess water.  Provide plenty of bright indirect for a happy Hoya!

Additional Hoya information:

Hoya, commonly referred to as "Wax Plant" is a genus consisting of over 500 species.

Hoyas are widely cultivated for their aromatic blooms and unique foliage.

They are native to tropical and subtropical areas all around the world. They can be found in Latin America, Asia, Australia, etc.

Mostly epiphytic, you'll find Hoyas love to climb trees in their natural habitats.

Hoyas have a large range of foliage shapes and textures. They can be found with elongated, deeply veined leaves to thin, narrow leaves and everything in between.

Most Hoya plants can be considered easy to care for. Here at Canopy Plant Co., we only ship the healthiest Hoyas from our Apopka greenhouse.

Sizing information:

Plants are living organisms, so each one is unique and may vary slightly in size, fullness, color, and maturity depending on the season, growing conditions, and current availability. We do our best to match the product photos and descriptions as closely as possible while ensuring you receive a healthy, high-quality plant.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are Hoyas pet friendly?

Yes! Hoyas are pet friendly, but we don't recommend letting pets chew on them as the plant could still cause minor reactions.

How often should I water my Hoya?

Hoyas generally prefer to remain slightly moist, with the top 1-2" of soil being dry to the touch. Some Hoya species and cultivars prefer more or less watering. If you need watering instructions for a specific Hoya plant, please reach out to us via email - help@canopyplantco.com. We're always happy to help!

How much light does my Hoya need?

Hoyas are happiest in bright indirect light. Some Hoya plants will produce red, pink or purple tinged leaves if placed in an area where they receive a few hours of direct morning sun. Hoyas cannot tolerate direct sun for an extended amount of time, especially direct afternoon sun.

When will I know when to repot my Hoya?

If your Hoya needs to be watered more than usual or if roots are coming out of the bottom of the pot - these are good signs that your Hoya needs to be repotted. We recommend going up to the next pot size instead of making a large jump in pot size. Contrary to popular belief, Hoyas do not prefer to be rootbound in their pots.

How do I get my Hoya to bloom?

Provide suitable bright indirect light, allow the plant to mature, and retain old peduncles. Bloom timing and environmental cues vary greatly by species.

Why are my Hoya leaves wrinkly, soft or yellowing?

Wrinkling can indicate dehydration, including dehydration caused by damaged roots. Yellow or soft leaves warrant checking for overly wet soil and root rot.

Why is my Hoya producing long vines with no leaves?

Many climbing Hoyas produce exploratory vines before leaves develop. Leave a healthy growth point intact; persistent sparse growth also warrants checking light and other environmental conditions.

Beautiful specimen!

This plant came carefully packaged and arrived quickly through UPS. I was surprised by how robust and established this plant is! I immediately gave it a little support trellis and popped the plastic nursery pot into a heavy glass planter to keep the pot from tipping over. I can’t wait to watch it grow, and I will definitely be ordering from Canopy again! So so happy!!!

Beautiful plant

I've recently buy other plants online before and I've have mixed feelings about it, but this was amazing, the plant was exactly like the one they show in the page, the packaging was very good, the shipping was fast, all the experience was positive. I glade to choose you to buy this plant in particular.

The best!

My plant came very fast (to East Tennessee). It was very well packed and in great condition. The same plant in my city is $89, and here I got it for just $16. Amazing!

We love it when a wish list plant doesn't break the bank Thank you for your support. Enjoy this new beauty

Clipped close to the node

Healthy plant and very pleased other than the top was clipped very close to the node. I’m just a bit concerned with how it will grow from there.

Buy! Buy! Buy! I Bought 3

Can’t be more pleased. Arrived in perfect condition. Quality is outstanding. Bought 2 of this same plant a yr ago on Etsy. Both had minimal leaves (4) required to grow but not these, one had 5, other 6 and last 7. This is my first purchase with Canopy so I was a little nervous when several days passed without being shipped but once FedEx picked up it was only 2 days to delivery. While unpacking it occurred to me that prepping “live” plants for mailing must be done more carefully than my typical household item Amazon purchase, so be patient and know it will be done right. Plan on making another buy this week. Just can’t be happier.

4 Kerri

Plant arrived on time, with a heat pack that was still warm. The plants took a tumble during shipping but wer still in good shape. I even got a bonus. Since the dirt was spilled I had to repot and I realized I technically have two separate plants potted as one, but I am not complaining.
