● Heart Hoya Plant Care Tips

Taking care of this plant isn’t as tiresome as you may think. Since the Heart Hoya is a succulent, its maintenance requirements are pretty low, meaning it can be grown and propagated easily. Here are a few care tips you must remember:

1. Light

Heart Hoya growth is best in bright, indirect light. You can place it near a window where it can receive plenty of natural sunlight without being exposed to direct sunlight, which can scorch its delicate heart-shaped leaves.

2. Watering your Hoya

Allow the soil to dry out partially between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, so it's essential to maintain a balanced watering routine. Water sparingly during the winter months when the plant's growth slows down.

3. Soil

Use a well-draining potting mix formulated for succulents or cacti. A mix of peat moss, perlite, and coarse sand works well to provide adequate drainage for Heart Kerrii. This is true and stands for almost all succulents, meaning this makes their care relatively easier.

4. Temperature and Humidity

Heart Hoya prefers temperatures between 60-80°F (15-27°C) and moderate humidity levels. Remember that plants tend to feel stress as well. So, protect your plant from cold drafts and sudden temperature fluctuations.

5. Fertilization

Feed your Heart Kerrii plant with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength during the growing season (spring and summer). Avoid fertilizing during the winter months when the plant is in dormancy.

6. Pruning

Trim any yellow or dead leaves to maintain the plant's appearance and promote healthy growth. Heart Hoya is a slow-growing plant, so pruning is generally minimal.
