I picked up this hoya kerrii variegata one year ago today and I thought I would have a little more to show. Come to find out, these plants take about as long as a ZZ plant. I also noticed that I have some leaf spots, which make me concerned I have a fungus or some hoya disease. If you have an idea of what is going on with my hear leaf hoya propagation, please leave me a comment below. I would love to hear your propagation tips.

Leave the callus exposed at the base of the leaf (the little tuber). If exposed to light, it can generate bud tissue. If hidden or buried it stays the same. I've done this several times . it's the only way that works
Thanks for the tip! I will have to try it! Got nothing to lose.
I’ve seen several people say 7 years was the magic number for when they decided to push out new leaves, I just got one myself a few months ago before I knew this. Talk about long time propagation!
Wow! That is a long time to wait. And here I thought ZZ plants were slow.
@@SuburbanSill If the leaf doesn't have a node it will never grow. It will just develop roots and eventually die.
I am not sure if the bump on your leaf is a node or not. Might be. The node can be in the soil, it doesn't have to be exposed (as someone here wrote). But as I said, I am not sure what you have there is a node, it looks a bit weird.
Best way to get one of these plants to grow is to look for sellers on e-bay and make sure you can see that it is not just the leaf you are getting, but also part of the stem. Best case already rooted. If not rooted yet, stick it in water and wait for the roots (can be quick, but can also take a month or two). Fresh water every week.
It's true! I just discovered a young shoot this morning on my husband's love heart plant. It's exactly seven years since I bought it for him for Valentine's Day. There must be something to it.
I was about to throw mine out after 5 years and noticed a sprout coming up. It’s now huge!
I got extremely lucky and mine grew after 3 months since I bought it, but i think one of the issue with yours was that it was in a waaaay to big pot for the start. I still have mine in like 2 inch pot.
Can you give us an update on how your hoya is doing now? Would love to know!!
I would give myself a gift on Valentine’s Day too
Hoya kerrii are better propagated with a stem. Leaf cutting have a small chance of developing shoots after 3-5 years but as long as it doesn't die, there still is a chance.
I would have washed off the roots to make sure that the infected soil was all off before replanting.
Good tip!! Thanks for sharing! I will certainly do that next time!
I have the green one leaf kerii and after a month or two it started its new growth. She has a tiny bit of the original stem. I didn't think it would grow anything. Now producing growth. Not all will from my understanding. What I did was expose the stem meaning didn't cover it up with soil. Let the soil dry out like all my hoyas. She gets bright indirect sun and its growing. Hope yours grows for you. 🤞🏽
That’s a great tip! I’ll try and expose some of the stem area. It might be too late, but you never know
I checked mine and it does have a tiny bit of stem. Will uncover it, thanks for the info!
Don’t give up hope if you watch dessert plant of Avalon she has one that is just starting to grow a new leave.
I have two and had it for going two years and still nothing. Good luck.🥰
The progress after one years looks great. Just leave it alone, water less and put it outside where it can get fresh air and sunshine. Just don't let it get more hours of direct sunshine that it gets indoors. You really need to let it stay totally dry between watering.
I had 2 leaves that eventually grew out as a plant. One took a year and the other took a few years. I did nothing except water it. Now one has died but I managed to propagate what remaining healthy leaves it had left. The other is still around but facing some issues either old age or I don’t know. I kind of lost track which one they are now. It’s been over 10 years. Got them as a wedding favor and the couple didn’t even last as long as my plants
Ooooh, the couple separated just as the Hoya grew😆
My understanding is that the leaf will not grow if there was not a node attached , but it will produce roots and a stem for new leaves. After a while the original leaf will die but by then you will have a stem and leaves
A leaf will not produce a stem. It will not do anything. If there is no node the leaf will sit in soil until it dies. It cannot grow anything.
A piece of stem only CAN root and produce leaves, but not the other way round. Best thing to do is make sure the leaf you are purchasing has a bit of stem with it. If it's just the leaf then all it is is a Valentine's day gimmik.
Last week I have seen a nice Hoya kerrii plant in a fabric store. I was so excited and asked where they bought it... It was a leaf that he bought on sale 3 years ago. It is now a nice looking plant. No need to say I went to the plant shop and bought a single Valentine leaf today. I see roots but have no idea if there is a nod.
Nice!! Hopefully you’ll get some new growth.
Ive read up on this and it doesn’t look like it’s going to grow. It needs some stem to give out more hearts. Big box stores tend to do that. Still rooting for you Hoya
I think you are right! I think I got a bum one. I had some hope after hearing that some do grow, but it might be luck of the draw.
SuburbanSill still hope it will magically grow a new heart! 💕
“Rooting” for you 😏 I see what you did there HAHAHHAHAAHA
I don't have this hoya but I've heard that single leaf heart leaf hoyas from the store are purely ornamental as the way that they are cut often doesn't include a leaf node. So the plant does grow roots but never a new leaves.
Right, I have heard the same, but I’ve also read online people claiming that they do get more leaves eventually, so this was me trying to see if it’s true. So far, I’m thinking that it won’t grow anything more 🤷🏼♀️ We’ll have to wait and see.
@@SuburbanSill Yes its not impossible but it would be several years to have it grown into a mature plant. Hope my one leaf kerrii hoya can survive to grow.
The grower I used says the rooted single-leaf plants *can* sometimes have a tiny node on them, but not often. Without the node, it will only stay a leaf.
I have a leaf with the same red borders! Do you know what it is?
I bought 2 about a month ago and transplanted them from their original container before I read this. Boo on that! I have them in a mix of potting soil, succulents potting soil and I always throw in a handful or two of perlite in my mix. I think I over watered them. I'm thinking of adding 35 % orchid potting soil into this mix. I need dryer soil . How much orchid mix do you recommend? Great video, very informative.
So I think you could do 50/50. I noticed the mixed I had was a little too chunky so keep that in mind. Good luck. Some say your might get growth and some say you won’t.
I just bought a leaf and hoping I can find a way to get it growing . desert plants of a alone ,had her,s 2 or 3years before all of a sudden it started growing and grew its first leaf , so I'm hoping I will too lol
Personally I’ve heard they grow. They just take awhile. I recently purchased one. I was told to allow it to dry out they do not like to be fussed with too much. Maybe it is insects? Have you tried Neemoil ? Maybe light? Not sure but really hope it cheers up!
Thank you!! You know, a grow light might be a good call.
hi there i have a heatr leaf hoya same pattern on it as yours i got it in february this year i want to transplant it into a bigger pot the one it's in is very small the only fresh compost i have is bonsai mix will it be ok in that i wish it would grow faster.
.. I bought one in 2021, I just thought it was kinda cute, but I didn't know it was a Hoya, and I didn't really know what to do with it.. After a year or so, I gave it away to a neighbor.. It was still in a 1 inch nursing pot, and I told her to just give it water when dry.. About a month ago (2023), the woman sent me a text with. A picture of the Hoya, and asked me what was going on.. Picture was poor so couldn't really tell her, but it looked like a new stem coming.. Today she called me and asked again, and I told her to come over with the critter and I would take a look.. So she did.. Still in the 1 inch pot I could see the new stem and a tiny tiny new leaf.. But also something that looked like a stem with "dots" on the tip as if flowers would have been there.. And worst of it, soaking wet as in drowning.. I changed the pot to a 3 inch, took away as much of the soaked soil as I could and gave it new well draining soil, and told her not to water before completely dry.. The poor critter is a slow grower and needs time, sun, warmth, and patience to grow.. I still think it's a cute little one, but I don't want one.. I've got my baby Hoya Krohniana super silver keeping me busy..
I've managed to get the callous/tuber at the base to generate shoot tissue but only by exposing it to the light.
HI there! Quick question, did you totally take the Hoya Kerrii out of the dirt and expose the stem (whatever was in the dirt) in the light? Or did you do something else with it? How long did you do this for? Did it dry out? Should I water propagate it in the light?
Thanks!
I have one Hoya leaf for 3 months. I’m waiting how it grow more.
I've heard that the size of the pot should depend on the size of the root system. So your pot is too big in my opinion. Besides, the spots on the leaf are probably a fungal infection. Too frequent watering or too little permeable soil that holds water. How is your plant holding up today?
I had that problem with a few plants and it looks like it was the pot! Which is upsetting. Unfortunately some ceramic (porous on the inside) pots create that water crust and that has killed a few of my plants, ugh! Once I learned I started using them only as cache pot.
Now, as for heart leaf Hoya I do have one too (and that’s what brought me here today)... so far it’s doing nothing. Just like yours... I’m not hoping it’ll vine or anything, but I did check my roots and they look super long... I might need to repot, but at the same time from reading the comments... if nothing is going to happen don’t ser the point 🤷🏼♀️
Interesting...What is water crust exactly? Also I have seen people get cutting and have luck with them growing...I think it might be the luck of the draw.
Hello buddy,mine is 3years now and nothing has changed, tell me of this one of yours now that it is 2023,please
It need to have a node on the stem to be able to propagate.
I have two it's not growing but alive, some people have told me they have die. Let's see want happens. I have them over a year.
They can live for years, but without a node/stem attached, it won’t grow into a plant. That’s kinda the scam... Sellers don’t tell people that when they sell tons of them at Valentines Day.
They like to be dry before watering see video from logees
Got one today then found out unless it comes with a node it isn't going to grow in to a plant
Total scam tbh
I agree...I think it is a bit of a scam! Those little leaves aren’t cheap.
Don't give up. The swollen callous at the base can generate shoot tissue but it needs to sit just above the surface. It begins to go green as the chloroplasts move into it then a shoot will form eventually. I had the plain green form or H. kerrii and once the shoot appeared, it was extremely vigirous!
Need 🌞
From my research this one may never grow
What happened to it so far?
Sadly...nothing. I don’t think it is going to grow.
@@SuburbanSill these plants grows slowly...what more to the one leaf hoya just to see if it can even grow into a mature plant huhu...guess we gotta be patient
They do not grow from just a leaf ,you need a stem cutting 😅😮
No nodes , you probably will not get a new leaf.
You need a mother plant.
Lots of people see them as one heart in a pot but most likely you will not get a new leafs
Hi
Sorry but the Hoya Kerii wont grow from a leaf they are just a gimmick for valentine's Day..to grow a Hoya Kerii you need a full cutting with at least one node eventualy it will just die sorry but check it out on line.👍
It might be any exception
It’s pronounced per-light. Not para-light
They don’t grow, they just stay the same
