If you’ve ever seen, cared for, or received the Heart Hoya, or Hoya Kerrii plant as a present, you already know she’s also known as the Valentine plant and the Sweetheart Wax plant, not only because she’s shaped like a heart, but also because she touches the heart. Every plant is a little 5 inch heart-shaped leaf that grows into a bushy clump of green hearts when put in a basket.
Plant Care
Fertilizer/ plant feed: Feed the Hoya plant regularly with water-soluble feed diluted to half strength.
Repotting : Because Hoya plants grow slowly, there is no need to repot them on a regular basis.
Propogation : Stem cuttings are the most effective means to propagate the Hoya plant. Cut the tip of one of the vines using pruning shears, leaving a couple of leaves intact. Keep it in water until the roots develop, then move it to a container with suitable potting soil.
Typical issues
1. Why are my Hoya plant’s leaves becoming black?
If you over-water the plant or if the drainage hole in the container is clogged, the root will decay and the leaves will become black.
2. Why are my Hoya leaves falling off?
A Hoya plant’s leaf loss might be caused by overwatering, waterlogging, or poorly draining soil.
3. Why isn’t my Hoya plant blooming?
If the Hoya plant does not receive enough sunshine, it may not blossom or may flower later than usual.
Design and Decoration
Light Requirements: Although the Hoya plant may grow in low indirect light, it thrives in brilliant indirect sunshine.
Placement: Placing the Hoya plant in a south-facing window will guarantee that it receives enough direct sunshine to be healthy and blossom nicely. Hanging plants are one of the most elegant methods to incorporate additional plants into a room.
Styling/decor tip : House the Hoya plants on macram? plant hangers to offer structure and a splash of colour to interior d?cor, as well as to define any section or area in the home. Hoyas also look great in titanium pots suspended from the ceiling.
