Origin
The Hoya kerrii, also known as the Heart Leaf Philodendron, finds its origin in Southeast Asia. Here, the plant grows in the wild, primarily in countries such as China, Vietnam, and Thailand. The plant is part of the Apocynaceae family and is named after the English botanist Thomas Hoy.

Characteristics
Characteristic of the Hoya kerrii are the heart-shaped leaves that are thick and fleshy in nature. The plant is a succulent, meaning it can store water in its leaves. The plant has the capacity to climb or hang, depending on the conditions. When it blooms, the plant can produce clusters of star-shaped flowers.

Care
The care of the Hoya kerrii is relatively easy. The plant prefers bright, indirect light and room temperature. In addition, it is important to keep the soil lightly moist without allowing water to stand, as the plant is sensitive to root rot. In the winter months, watering can be reduced as the plant then is in a resting phase.
