Hoya kerrii

Hoya kerrii is the classic heart-leaf wax plant, grown for thick, fleshy leaves arranged in opposite pairs on slow, twining stems. A rooted stem plant can develop into a long-lived vine with aerial roots at the nodes, while a single rooted leaf often remains a living leaf for a very long time. Stem tissue is what allows the plant to build a true vine.

Established plants grow deliberately, sending out searching stems before new leaves appear. Mature vines can produce rounded umbels of waxy flowers with night fragrance and reddish-brown nectar, so flowering plants are best kept away from surfaces that could stain.

Heart-shaped Hoya kerrii leaves and slow vine growth

  • Growth habit: Slow, twining epiphytic to lithophytic vine with aerial roots along mature stems.
  • Leaves: Thick, green, heart-shaped leaves with a firm, succulent texture.
  • Stem cuttings: Rooted stems can grow into vines; rooted single leaves usually remain as leaves.
  • Flowering: Mature plants can form waxy umbels on persistent spurs.
  • Placement: Older stem plants can be grown on hoops, trellises or hanging pots once active vine growth begins.

From rooted stem cutting to mature sweetheart vine

Hoya kerrii is native from Indochina to western Malesia, where it grows as a climbing epiphyte or lithophyte in wet tropical habitats. Its thick leaves hold moisture, while its roots are adapted to airy positions on bark or rock rather than dense, heavy soil.

In indoor cultivation, the slow pace is normal. A healthy rooted stem cutting may spend months building roots before extending new shoots. Bare vines should usually stay in place because they can later produce leaves or flowering spurs.

Root care for slow-growing Hoya kerrii

  • Light: Give bright filtered light for strong leaf growth and flowering potential. Very dim positions slow this species further.
  • Watering: Water deeply, then let most of the mix dry before watering again. Thick leaves store moisture, but roots still need regular rehydration.
  • Substrate: Use bark, pumice, perlite and coco chips so water drains quickly and oxygen remains around the roots.
  • Pot size: Keep the pot close to the size of the root system. A large pot can stay wet too long around a slow-growing plant.
  • Humidity: Average to moderate humidity is usually enough, with steadier growth around 50–70%.
  • Temperature: Keep at 18–28°C and avoid cold, damp substrate.
  • Training: Guide new stems onto a hoop or trellis while they are flexible, or let mature stems trail from a hanging container.
  • Peduncles: Leave old flowering spurs attached, as they can bloom again on mature plants.

No vine growth, wrinkled leaves and sticky flowers

  • No vine growth: Check whether the plant has a node and stem tissue. A rooted leaf alone usually stays alive but remains static.
  • Wrinkled leaves: Check the full depth of the pot. Wrinkling can come from dryness or from damaged roots that cannot absorb water.
  • Yellow soft leaves: Look for wet substrate, low temperature or a pot that holds moisture around the roots for too long.
  • Bare searching stems: Keep healthy bare vines unless shaping is needed; they can later carry leaves or flowers.
  • Sticky flowering: Mature umbels may drip reddish-brown nectar, so move the plant away from porous surfaces when buds open.

Pet safety and milky sap

Hoya kerrii is listed as non-toxic to cats, dogs and horses by NC State Extension and ASPCA. The plant is still ornamental and can release milky sap when cut, so wash hands after pruning and keep trimmings away from pets that chew houseplants.

Hoya kerrii name origin and family

Hoya kerrii Craib belongs to Apocynaceae and was first published in 1911. The species epithet honours Arthur Francis George Kerr, the plant collector associated with early material from Southeast Asia, while Hoya honours Thomas Hoy.

Hoya kerrii grows slowly from stem cuttings into a sturdy sweetheart vine with thick paired leaves and long bare runners before new foliage forms.

Great companion book to a great "Book One!"
I really like that the creators have been so heavily involved in the comics and art books from Dark Horse, and as such, I want to own all of them after looking at this gem! The artwork is beautiful, and it's awesome reading little anecdotes from the series creators. Did you know that polar bear dogs are feared by the Water Tribes, but Korra met a lost cub when she was little and now she has Naga!? All of the notes add to the universe of the series and make you feel involved in the show. As a fan of the original series, I'm now a little older and can really appreciate the work that goes into entertaining people, so this book is exceptional at presenting that feeling. The book is separated into a few sections, focusing on early development, each episode of the first season, and extra artwork created for promotion such as the DVD cover. I love being able to look at the concept art and notes and then watch the series at home. I highly recommend grabbing the Blu-ray version of the series. It has audio commentaries for each episode, so you are really being thrown into the universe of The Legend of Korra! I highly recommend to everyone who is a fan of the series!

BEST ART BOOK (GREAT GIFT FOR Legend Of Korra FANS)
It is a beautiful book. It was everything I hoped for, but it was bigger than I expected. (I didn't see the measurements/size...oops) The artwork inside is incredible, the detail and effort that was put into this book is amazing. I am a huge Legend of Korra fan, so I was a little nervous when I bought the book. I had my doubts but when received it I was so pleased with it. I could not be happier with this book. I highly recommend this book to anyone considering it to either give to a friend or to buy for personal use.

A good one, albeit not a perfect one
It is a comprehensive look into the series with lots of wonderful art. I felt that it was thinner than the previous book from the Avatar series but I'm not talking about the length of the book (I know this one has less pages an only covers one season) but rather about the "insights" into the creative process. While the previous book felt full to the seams and you could feel that there was a lot of important material that didn't fit, you also felt that all the material that did was included was the best. In this one for Korra, you feel that there were many important things left out that should have been included and there are some things that were included that doesn't feel as important...

Everything you wanted put into a art book
I loved this art book. It showed me basically everything I wanted to see from back drops used and unused, old character designs and how some things came to be or what they were inspired by. The commentary is great though rarely confusing (Ex: at one point they commentary refers to a picture in the top right but says "As you can see by the design in the middle" the middle being something completely different) I feel like this book is a must for fans and people interested in the art of the series alike.

This is how you make an artbook!!
It's so awesome to open an artbook and see every stage of the character and how it all came together. It's always fun and interesting to know how Korra was made, and why whe looks the way it looks. It's really cool to read the different ideas that came up for a certain character and why they decided that a certain design worked better than the previous ones! It's also really interesting and delicious to read about how they inspired themselves in known architecture to create the environment in this tv series. I simply loved it and I'm excited to know that I'll be buying the other Korra artbooks!!!
