Hoya Kerrii Single
F00000662
Origin
The Hoya Kerrii Single, also known as the Sweetheart Plant, originates from Southeast Asia. This evergreen plant can be primarily found in regions such as Thailand, China, and Vietnam. As the plant originates from these areas, it has developed certain characteristics to survive in these specific climate conditions.
Characteristics
A notable characteristic of the Hoya Kerrii Single is its heart-shaped leaf. This leaf has a deep green colour and can reach a length of up to 25 centimetres. It has the ability to store water in its trunk and leaves, which is useful in its natural, dry environment. Furthermore, the plant produces small, white star-shaped flowers that are accompanied by a subtle, sweet scent.
Care
The Hoya Kerrii Single requires a bright location, but avoid direct sunlight to prevent leaf scorch. In terms of moisture needs, it is important to water the plant moderately and keep the soil lightly moist. During the winter period, when the Hoya Kerrii Single grows less actively, the watering can be reduced. It is crucial to place the plant in a location with temperatures around 15-25 degrees Celsius, as the plant cannot withstand cold well. Unlike many other plants, the Hoya Kerrii Single does not demand regular fertilisation, regular potting soil suffices.
