ADDITIONAL CARE
Since this Hoya kerrii | Sweetheart Hoya is a vine, it can get a little out of hand especially if you’re not putting on a trellis. At this point, you’ve got to prune the part of the stem that seems out of proportion. Cut it back down to its node to achieve the kind of shape you want the plant to have. Hoya kerrii | Sweetheart Hoya will normally produce a sticky sap at the cut portion. Those heart-shaped leaves that are discolored and diseased should be pruned as well. This will allow for new leaves to grow and flourish. Remember not to cut the peduncle. This is the portion where the flowers of your valentine hoya emerge. Leave that out because it will be the same location where new flowers will bloom the next year. Hoya kerrii | Sweetheart Hoya is a slow grower so it won’t need repotting until a few years have passed. However, Some growers don’t feel the need to transfer it to a larger container. Remove the hoya from its pot. Shake off the existing soil to exposed the roots. Trim down the dead roots and leaves only the healthy ones.
