Love your Kerrii! Everyone has said it grows super slow I’ve had one for about a year I get new leaves every week. I let it get super dry before I water ! And bright light for hours it sits in a south facing window!

😍 such goals.. I bought mine with 5 leaves.. already grown another 6 leaves.. I never touch the baby leaves as i broke some before.. mine would go dormant for a while then when its growing season, it grows really fast and continuously..

[@giannyordonez3344]

Thanks for the great information. My hoya kerrii grew very nicely over the summer but I just noticed the stem at the tip seems to be drying out. I'm not sure if I should cut it off or leave it alone. Any advice?

So inspired by your thriving Kerrii!! Can you do a plant tour?!

[@HomebyFaith]

Thank you!! I really want to to a houseplant tour as my next video!

[@bluektq]

I love how straight forward your video is. Btw, do you give any fertilizer to your Kerrii? What fertilizer & how often do you give? I got variegated Kerrii about 4 months ago, it doesn’t show any growth whatsoever ☹️ (I put it on my south facing window)

[@HomebyFaith]

Thanks for watching! I'm actually guilty of not fertilizing my kerrii consistently 😅 I use a foliar spray (directly applying nutrients on the leaves), and sometimes a soil enhancer from Marphyl. Also, my kerri stops growing complete every year from Sep - April, so I won't be surprised yours isn't gonna do anything for a while (unless it's summer where you live?)

[@danielac983]

I love your video very helpful. If I buy a leaf cutting with roots. How often to water? I hear that sometimes the nurseries sell them with the roots not so strong. 🤔 So would like to know how to care for just 1 heart purchase from a nursery or from anyone. Thanks such and LOVE you drawing video definitely will try it qith my daughter. she'll love it😍

Am a bit confused I just watched other topic how to grow hoya or propagate. They say hoya don't like water. I have hoya growing in my garden I wrapped it around the fern tree. I was planning to propagate that Is why am trying to find some guidelines. Thank you for sharing. I believe you. Live your hoya Kerri.

[@eve8985]

😭 it’s beautiful.!!!

[@HomebyFaith]

Thank you!

[@sempiternalrituals4214]

This is a really informative video. I just bought a Hoya with just 1 leaf, do you have any idea about when it will start growing a vine with proper lighting and watering?

[@HomebyFaith]

Thanks for watching! Unfortunately most one leaf hoya will die before growing a new vine. If you are able to keep it healthy for a few years it may grow a vine. It really depends on how much of the main stem it has attached to the one leaf (most don't)

[@karla23420]

I’m glad I found your video!! I’ve had mine for over a year and I noticed only recently it’s starting to grow.. but just the stem seems to be thriving ☹️but do the hearts start popping out later? It does get lots of bright indirect light.

[@HomebyFaith]

Yea! my hoya likes to send out long stems wayyyy before any hearts starts growing on it!

👀👀👀💕 Very beautiful plants my friend Thanks 🍀🌹🌷 JM adeniun 🇧🇷🙏 success...👍👍👍

[@gennafer]

Thank you for all the information! I just got a plant from Target, I didn't intend to get one but felt compelled to save it as it was the only green not dying one there. Now that I've researched a bit I'm concerned that the consensus is it may have been just a leaf cutting with no stem and may be doomed to die. I pulled it out of the 21" pot it's in and I see there are roots around where the dirt meets the pot but I can't tell if there is a stem or not with disturbing the soil and I don't want to do that. My question is do you think I should repot since I can see the roots winding all around the outside of the dirt ball and how often do you think it should be watered if it's just a leaf cutting? Thank you in advance for answering!

[@mysteryjet2007]

Leaf cutting will root but not grow into a plant

[@maylife_88]

Thanks for the information. I have hoya plant with me but they looks not really happy, the leaves are with obvious veins and the leaves are thin and long. Do you know what can I do to make them grow better?

[@HomebyFaith]

Seeing veins means that your plant is thirsty!

[@ylwlinda]

Hey, I’ve notice my Hoya Kerrie has brown spots all over. Please advise what to do , many thanks

[@i_am_afrinique]

Wow, this was very informative! Thank you for sharing. I just got an eight leaf Hoya. #plantgoals. Is it true they don’t mind being pot bound?

[@HomebyFaith]

I find their roots grow very slowly compared to other plants, so a smaller pot is always more ideal. They also flower in a smaller pot too.

[@khristiewelliott3869]

😍😍😍

[@mariannewm26]

I got a single leaf clipping 2 yrs ago and to my surprise 2 more leaves sprouted this year, but they sprouted out of the soil, not into a vine. How can I grow it into a plant? Bigger pot? Give it a trellis?

[@OrchidandKitties]

Very good informative video.I grow orchids but lately I got in to Hoya.and I like that Hoyas are more easy to grow.I think I will get some bloom soon.like and subscribe.

[@leighannesimmons9341]

I just recently purchased a Hoya Kerri non variegated. It has black spots under the leafs. How do you treat it?

[@victoriablake3826]

Well this was a rollercoaster. I found a little Hoya Kerri leaf at a garden center, thought it was adorable and instantly brought it. Looked up care and found out they grow into vines, woah that’s amazing!! So I get all excited, go online and find out PSYCHE mine will probably stay a leaf. On the one hand I love the tiny plant I think it’s so cute but on the other I kinda wish it could vine :/

[@premeditatio]

Keep hope alive! I bought a single heart Hoya (from a very responsible seller who told me it might stay that way forever), and to my surprise, it sprouted two new leaves about a year and a half in! Happy Hoya-ing!

[@sherlineko1619]

Your plant looks so full! Do you have multiple vines starting in the bottom of the pot or just one large one?

[@HomebyFaith]

Thank you! There's only a single vine !

[@marielgonzalez1329]

PLEASE HELP! I have a question! My variegated Kerri got thin sides?! No sure how! I definitely haven’t over waters so maybe under? But it side there almost like half circle that is thin and flopped the rest of the leaves is fine although I would say thinning now what can be the cause ?

[@m.w4649]

Hello, this is such a good care guide. I think I have seen your Kerrii with the bamboo cage being shared on Instagram for so many times, absolute stunner! I have Hoya Kerriis green and variegated as well. I found that on new grow leaves, they normally come in pairs, one side of the leave grew big first and I would expect the other side to be the same. However to my surprise, the other baby leave just stayed the same size, turned a bit pink then a bit red and dropped. I water my kerriis accordingly to the season, and the pots have drainages. The kerris are also in good lightings. Just wondering if you had the same issue? And would you please share if you have any tips for that? I’d really like them to come in pairs and I know they can, because the more mature leaves down close to the roots are in pairs. Thanks!

[@HomebyFaith]

Hi there, are they growing during winter? If so, it's probably not the best scenario. However, they really have to be in the wild, with the heat, humidity, nutrients and something to climb in order to grow nicely. Mine sometimes grow in pairs, but usually just one side grows out before the other.

[@m.w4649]

@@HomebyFaith hi faith. After my attempt of fixing the issue. I’ve be changing my kerrii’s location and found it growing perfectly fine in morning sunlight. Facing north east (I’m in Australia). The leaves are finally come in pairs and baby leaves no longer drop. I did took note from u by adding more humidity and nutrients. We will see if it grows crazy in the next few months:) Thanks Faith!
