Hoya kerrii, also referred to colloquially as Hoya hearts, is a species of Hoya native to the south-east of Asia. It is a robust climbing plant with curious, thick succulent, leathery leaves in form of an inverted heart and peculiar mall globe-shaped flowers, cream-white with rose-purple corona-lobes, in summer. The thick leaves are heart-shaped, and the plant is sometimes named "lucky-heart". Hoya kerrii is a climbing plant that can grow up to 4 meters high (around 13 feet). Stems have a diameter of 7 mm. The leaves are 6 cm wide, 5 mm thick. Adult plants show inflorescences of 5 cm diameter and up to 25 flowers. Each small flower is made up of two stars, one on top of the other. They produce small balls of nectar, colored red to brown. They smell only faintly or not at all.

Love the heart shape of the hoya kerrii and am excited about the added bonus that it will reproduce creating yet more hearts.
