Hoya ‘Kerrii’ outer variegated - 4” pot

🌿 Meet the Hoya Kerrii Outer Variegated

It's easy to see why Hoya Kerrii has earned its reputation as one of the cutest Hoyas around. 💚🤍

Known for its unmistakable heart-shaped leaves, this outer-variegated form makes those little hearts even more beautiful.

Each thick, succulent-like leaf features a green center surrounded by creamy white to yellow variegated margins, creating a gorgeous frame around the edge of the foliage. Depending on the individual leaf, the outer variegation can range from subtle edging to much broader areas of cream.

New growth can also bring some beautiful surprises, with developing foliage occasionally showing soft pink or rosy tones before maturing.

Unlike the single-leaf Hoya hearts commonly sold around Valentine's Day, this is a growing Hoya plant in a 4" pot, capable of developing vines and additional heart-shaped leaves as it matures. 🌿💚

🌿 Plant Care

Give your Variegated Hoya Kerrii plenty of bright, indirect light. Good lighting supports healthy growth and helps showcase its beautiful variegated foliage.

Avoid prolonged harsh direct sunlight, which can scorch the lighter portions of the leaves.

Allow the growing medium to partially dry between waterings. Those thick leaves store moisture, and Kerrii generally prefers drying somewhat rather than remaining consistently wet.

Use an airy, fast-draining growing medium that allows plenty of oxygen around the roots.

As your Hoya begins producing longer vines, you can allow it to climb a trellis or other support.

If your mature Hoya eventually flowers, leave the old flower spurs, or peduncles, intact after blooming. Hoyas can produce future flowers from those same structures.

📦 Shipping & Variegation Information

Your plant will be carefully packed to help protect it during its journey to you.

Because plants are living things, the plant you receive will not be identical to the plants pictured. Natural differences in size, fullness, leaf shape, coloring, variegation, and growth are part of what makes every plant unique.

The amount, width, placement, and intensity of the outer variegation will naturally vary from plant to plant and leaf to leaf. Some leaves may have wider cream margins while others may display more green.

Variegation shown in the listing photos does not guarantee the exact amount or pattern of variegation on the plant you receive or on future growth.

Minor cosmetic imperfections or temporary shipping stress can occur during transit. Give your new plant time to acclimate to its new environment after arrival.
