Trailing Hoya Kerrii Heart, botanically known as Hoya kerrii, is a tropical vining plant in the Apocynaceae family native to the humid jungle forests of Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Laos, and Vietnam. It climbed through warm canopies in its native habitat, making it naturally suited to indoor warmth and humidity.
The leaves are small and heart-shaped, thick and waxy with a deep green color and slightly succulent texture. Unlike single-leaf cuttings, this trailing variety features 3 or more leaves along a vining stem, allowing it to actively grow and trail over the edge of a pot. The waxy foliage has a polished, almost sculptural appearance.
Mature plants produce clusters of small, star-shaped flowers with a sweet, light fragrance that typically appear in spring or summer when the plant is well established.
Position it near a window with bright indirect light or on a shelf where it can trail freely without obstruction. Rotate the pot every few weeks for balanced, even growth on all sides. It is pet-friendly, safe for cats and dogs. You can leave it up to ten days without water.

Trailing Hoya Kerrii Heart grows well in bright indirect light but adapts to medium light and grows steadily under office LEDs.
Water it every 10 to 14 days in summer and every 3 to 4 weeks in winter, letting the soil dry out between waterings.
Hoya Kerrii Heart does best in a well-draining mix of perlite, orchid bark, and standard potting soil to prevent root rot.
It prefers temperatures between 60 and 85°F and is not frost-tolerant, suffering damage below 50°F.
Hoya Kerrii Heart is a slow to moderate grower that benefits from a balanced liquid fertilizer applied monthly during spring and summer.
It is hardy in USDA zones 10 through 12 outdoors, where frost is rare and temperatures stay above 50°F. It grows outdoors year-round in southern California, coastal and southern Florida, South Texas, Hawaii, and parts of Arizona and Nevada. It grows outdoors in warmer months in Zone 9 areas including Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, South Carolina, and coastal Oregon, though it needs to move indoors for winter in those regions.
