Hoya 'Sweetheart Variegated' - Lucky-Heart Wax Plant

Discover the charming Hoya 'Sweetheart Variegated' (Hoya kerrii 'Variegated'), commonly known as the Lucky-heart Wax Plant. This unique offering is a single-leaf cutting boasting a distinct heart shape with a beautiful splash of creamy yellow variegation on its waxy, thick foliage. Native to tropical Asia, the Hoya is known for its hardiness. While this single-leaf cutting is a very slow grower and primarily intended as a novelty gift or decorative ornament, for the houseplant enthusiast, proper care and patience with a full plant (not a single leaf cutting) can eventually be rewarded with a striking growth of multiple heart-shaped leaves on woody vines.

Key Features

• Iconic Heart Shape: Features a single, charming heart-shaped leaf.
• Beautiful Variegation: Displays a lovely splash of creamy yellow on its waxy green surface.
• Extremely Hardy: A very resilient and low-maintenance ornamental plant.
• Novelty Gift: Ideal for gifting, symbolizing love and good luck.
• Ornamental: Perfect as a unique desktop accent or charming small decor piece.

Care Tips

• Light: Bright, indirect light is essential to maintain the vibrant variegation. Avoid direct, harsh sun.
• Water: Water sparingly. Allow the potting mix to dry out completely between waterings, similar to succulents.
• Humidity: Tolerates average household humidity levels.
• Soil: Use a well-draining, airy potting mix, such as a succulent or aroid blend.
• Feeding: Fertilizing is generally not needed for a single leaf cutting.
• Temperature: Prefers warm room temperatures (18-29°C / 65-85°F).
• Placement: Keep in a small pot with good drainage.
• Pet-Friendly: Non-toxic to cats and dogs, making it a safe choice for pet owners.

Kindly Note

As this is a single-leaf cutting, this plant will not grow vines or develop into a full vining plant. It is intended to remain as a decorative, rooted heart-shaped leaf.
