Native to Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam and part of China , this Valentine's Day Hoya, named so because of the heart shape of its leaves, is above all very vigorous and quite hardy.
Hoya kerrii flowers appear in summer and have a fairly strong fragrance that changes depending on the age of the plant! A vigorous vine, this "wax flower" produces leathery leaves that vary in size and are all green.

The location of your Hoya kerrii will greatly affect its substrate requirements. You can use either a professional quality horticultural soil or a special mixture composed of 50% blond peat , 25% horticultural soil and 25% perlite .
Xaxim, whether in a plate or pot , is also an excellent solution as a growing medium because the root system of Hoyas in general grows very vigorously there.
Hoya kerrii does not like temperatures that are too low. Do not let them go below 10°C, possibly 5°C but very occasionally. As long as it does not suffer from a lack of water, it will tolerate high temperatures but will grow less well above 30°C.
Like many other Hoyas, Hoya kerrii appreciates osmosis water or rainwater. Make sure to never have water in the saucer and space out waterings sufficiently so that the surface of the substrate dries between two waterings. Respect a vegetative rest in winter by spacing waterings two weeks apart depending on the size of your pot.
This Hoya appreciates strong light without direct sun otherwise its leaves will burn. In nature it grows as well by crawling on branches and rocks as by climbing on the branches of a broad-leaved tree.
In spring and summer, it is beneficial to spray the plant with foliar fertilizer diluted to a quarter, twice a month.
