Variegated Heart-shaped Hoya kerrii Hoya cordata
Description
As the thick leaves are heart-shaped, the plant is sometimes named “Lucky-heart”. In Europe, it is sold for Saint Valentine’s Day.
Its origin area is South China, Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Thailand and the Indonesian island of Java.
Hoya kerrii is a climbing plant that can grow up to 4 meters high (around 13 feet). Stems have a diameter of 7 mm. The leaves are 6 cm wide, 5 mm thick. Adult plants show inflorescences of 5 cm diameter and up to 25 flowers. They produce small balls of nectar, coloured red to brown. They smell only faintly or not at all.
Garden centres generally sell young plants as a thin, heart-shaped leaf in a pot. The plant will stay this way for many months, after which it will begin to grow quickly and approximately one meter a year.
