Hoya kerrii can be grown on a window sill with little sunshine, receiving about 3-5 hours of scattered light per day, which is still capable of blooming, offering very good ornamental value. Its most distinctive feature is its ability to climb, attaching to the window railing and growing upwards. You can also set up some supports for it.
Hoya kerrii is a very popular succulent plant, loved for its heart-shaped leaves that grow in clusters, making it particularly beautiful and known as the "Lover's Hoya". It is very suitable for growing on an east-facing balcony, receiving proper scattered light in the morning or evening, which allows it to continuously climb and bloom every year if well cared for.

It can be said that Hoya kerrii is an ornamental plant that becomes more and more likable the more you look at it, very suitable for lazy gardeners. It does not require much light or water. Especially in the summer, it is important to avoid excessive sun exposure and direct sunlight, only needing some soft scattered light to grow well. Too much sun in the summer can easily cause the leaves to blacken and rot.
When does the Hoya kerrii bloom?
However, many people cannot grow Hoya kerrii well, not because the environment is unsuitable, but because of improper care, especially the humidity of the environment. Although Hoya kerrii requires less water, it needs to be regularly sprayed with water around it to increase air humidity and prevent dry air, which helps it grow better. Indoor potted Hoya kerrii also needs to have its leaves cleaned regularly to avoid too much dust, which can affect photosynthesis.
Hoya kerrii should not be watered frequently. If the soil is often moist or waterlogged, it can easily cause root rot, preventing the growth of tender buds, causing the stems and leaves to grow excessively. Before each watering, check the moisture level of the soil and see if the soil three centimeters below the surface is dry. If the potting soil is almost completely dry, it can be watered.
Hoya kerrii is a semi-climbing shrub succulent plant. If well cared for, it can climb to over two meters high, so it is important to provide supports during regular maintenance and ensure it receives scattered light daily, with a well-ventilated and well-lit environment, avoiding enclosed spaces. Although it can tolerate some shade, it cannot grow well without proper light.
In situations with particularly good ventilation, leaves can be sprayed with water regularly, but not at night. Before nightfall, the leaves should be kept dry to prevent fungal diseases.
