Hi Guys :-D Here is the latest update on How my Hoya kerri Single leaf plant looks now : th-cam.com/video/0jt0h95LFYM/w-d-xo.html XXXXX
I bought my mum one of these over 15 years ago and it's still going strong as a single leaf :)
Thats fantastic news, one of mine ended up growing after sitting still for two years, and I will upload a video tomorrow on How my single leaf Hoya kerri looks now, thanks so much for watching and have a fantastic Tuesday XXXX
Are you sure it’s real? 😂
Not me having litterally just bought one.
Hi Katherine, the good news is many of these single leaf Hoyas will still survive and grow a new leaf over time, here is the latest video I made on my single leaf Hoya : th-cam.com/video/sK1HKKPdANs/w-d-xo.html it has grown a new baby leaf after 3 years XXXX
Me...dead. lol
Same! Why would they even do this to us...
Hi, I bought one single heart at a store. I immediately re-planted it and waited 2 years . Keeping it dry and water inly once a week in warm season. It finally grew into a plant after 2 years!...
It grew 7 new heart shaped leaves on a vine starting spring 2017 and is now done Autumn 2018. (Australia)
Thats fantastic news about your Heart Hoya Jody :-D I am keeping my fingers crossed that mine does the same :-D thanks so much for letting me know about your heart Hoya
That's great news 😎 I just transplanted my Hoya Kerrii today 👍🏻
Can u share the details of potting mix, light and special care you took. I was so disappointed when i saw tjis video as i have had one for the past 2 years in a tiny pot.
Pls share your soil mix!!
I bought one of these single leaf cuttings from a charity shop for £1 that the lady had rooted herself from her own plant. 9 months on I have 14 leaves and it’s 16 inches tall!! So DONT be put off by someone else’s lack of success. This is the second one I’ve had, first one I had from Ikea and that grew nicely too so I gave it to my sister.
Hi Emma :-D thats fantastic news, and so true words, the good news is the one on the left of this video has also started to shoot from the base new growth too, thanks so much for watching and for sharing your success with these and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Sunday XXXX
Can you share the pictures
I bought two single leaf plants 5-6 years ago, maybe longer, and they have remained the same, no growth, no flowers, until two weeks ago when I hadn’t watered them for a while and one seemed papery so I put them both in water for a while then let them drain, now, one of them has grown another leaf😃. I was going to remove it and pot it as I thought that was how they were meant to be but thought I’d look online first, thank goodness I did. Repotting is all that is going to happen now for both plants 💚💚
How do you water them? Sunlight or no sunlight?
Amazing Emma, i am being positive after hearing all this good news on 1 leaf hoya kerri's ✌🙏🌵🌻
i just bought one of these in tesco after watching your video i really hope it grows now thanks for the information
Hi David, the good news is there is a good chance yours will grow, mine has grown amazing now from the single leaf and stay tuned for an update video coming on tomorrow afternoon of how my Hoya kerrii looks today, its grown into a beautiful little plant, Happy growing and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic afternoon XXXX
that's great i even bought another one from perfect plants.£6
@@davidfarrell7318 XXXXX ❤🥰
I got one as a gift 2 years ago, and 3 months ago, it got two babies, and now the third one is on its way, and they're doing so well!! I was shocked to see it's doing to well after 2 years after not growing at all :)
Thats fantastic news, I still have the one of these and it is starting to send out new growth too, so happy your Hoya is growing well, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Saturday XXXX
Oh man, I just bought one of these too. Oh well, it's already in my home so I'll just enjoy it and do everything I can to keep it alive :) thank you for this video! Super informative 💚
The same thing happened to me! It died about 6 months after I bought it, but I couldn't figure out what I did wrong. I'm so happy I found this video because I was feeling like such a terrible plant mom, but I'm relieved to hear it wasn't because of anything I had done. Still sad though!!
So sorry to hear you lost your Hoya, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
Most of them one leaf cuttings come from the nursery with some 'cloth thingy' around the base of the leaf...around the roots. In my experience its worth taking the leaf out of the soil washing and removing the cloth and then repoting in perlite or sucullant soil.
Good luck everyone!
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
I love that heart shaped Hoya! I’ve been looking for it.
Thanks now I know motto but a cutting like this 👍🏼 hope you’re keeping warm
Thank you for your video! I was about to purchase one of these for quite a bit of money on Etsy, so I’m glad I found your video first. I love plants, especially succulents, so I subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to watching more of your videos!
Thanks so much for subscribing Laurie :-D and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
I just found your video after mine died and I had no idea what I did wrong. I was so sad. 😞 Thank you for teaching us about this plant.
So sorry you lost your plant, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful weekend XXXX
Thats just so sad, I would be broken hearted if someone gave that to me and it died :( I'm surprised they didn't spray it red and cover it in glitter with a little red hat! Oops I've just given them a new idea LOL Hope you find a proper Hoya kerrii for your collection Lyn, thanks for putting out the info I didn't know about this one ... Plant Power!!! :)
I have never seen these, but I am now forewarned. Thank you. Greetings from Arizona, USA, love your videos.
Thank you, Lyn, my husband was going to get one of this at Sainsbury's last week and I said wait for Valentine's day.
Oh and I have 2 I bought them last spring and are still doing ok, thank you for letting us know.
The good news is its very possible that your heart hoyas will survive :-D I still have the one from this video and I am keeping my fingers crossed it will survive long term :-D thanks so much Diane for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXXX
Totally agree with you Lyn, all plant lovers should avoid plant exploitations such as this unrooted leaves, or dyed, glittered, snow covered plants, just for the fun of holidays and other symbolic days. Plants are real, living organisms, and should be treated with respect. They give us so much. If only people who sell plants could stop coming up with these horrid and kitch ideas. We should boycott all of these.
You are so correct. I get so angry when I see plants painted. It's the worse.
Thanks for posting this. I'm an amateur indoor gardener in NYC & grow multiple Hoyas, including H kerrii, the Heart-shaped Hoya leaf. We see this scam from time to time as well. A number of yrs. ago, I persuaded my own local supermarket (in Brooklyn) to quit selling these, maybe 8-10 yrs. ago, for $12 a pop, not a cheap loss. They probably had 6 or 8 for sale when I stopped them.
I have one that I bought three years ago, its alive but still no leaves! I enjoy your videos very much, thank you.
Mine took about 3.5 years before it grew an extra leaf. Now it’s putting out leaves steadily
Thank you for the warning Lyn. I appreciate it and love the joke at the end!
Thank you so much for this information. I have 2 leaf cuttings waiting for purchase and had no idea. I will search for a growing plant instead. Thanks again!
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a sunny Sunday today XXXX
I received a promo email from a plant shop and was about to purchase it thinking it was a good deal. Glad I did a quick search and found your video. I'll save my money and just wait for a proper plant.
Thats great that you found this video first, yes so many of these single leaf Hoya's are a con as many of them are propagated without the nodes attached and most of them are unable to survive long term, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Sunday XXXX
It's so perfect for Valentine's Day and really pretty . Hope it last years and years if there's someone who can do it its you Lyn❤️
Thank you Lynn! I will share this video!😉💞🌵
I’ve had my Hoya for a year now . It’s blossomed very pretty in the summer .ilove it it’s so cute
Thats wonderful news your Hoya has been blooming lovely for you and I bet its a beauty :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a super Sunday XXXX
Great video I have just literally bought one of these a couple of hours ago from a well known supermarket In the same red pot :)
Hi gorgeous girl. I'm so glad you've highlighted this con, tis most unkind and annoying. Wishing you and Hans and fabulous week, big smiles, Tish 🌺
Its such a con indeed just to fool plant lovers like us into thinking we are buying a plant long term, its craziness, thanks so much Tish for your wonderful comment and for watching and Hans and I are sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX
I just bought myself one a few days ago. I'm going to repot it in a larger pot asap in the hopes I can get the little guy to keep growing🤞-it's such a cute little plant.Thanks for this video!
Thats wonderful news you have bought one of these Hoya kerri plants, I will film and upload a video today of how my single leaf Hoya kerri looks like today, it has grown really well and turned into a beautiful little plant with lots of new leaves, Happy Growing to you, and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Wednesday XXXX
Recieved mine Valentines Day. It’s April 4th & still alive, plenty of roots, too many.. getting ready to replant now. It’s adorable sitting by my front window 💚 plus- it’s lasted far longer than those cut tulips.
Thats fantastic news, I still have the one on the left in this video and I re potted it last year and it has a wonderful root system, I know a few growers who have had them send out new shoots after many months and hopefully this will be the case for the ones that have roots like yours, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a safe and sunny new week ahead XXXX
I was just looking how to care for the one I just bought this past month 💀 glad I found your video!!
Hi Katie
Glad I saw your video..
I was at a Garden center yesterday, and saw these in pots Just like this.
It was rather expensive, I almost bought one, but then put it down.
I'm glad I did ..
Though they are unique and interesting, I don't wanna throw money away on a plant that probably won't make it..
Great video, Thanks so much for sharing !
P.s. Sorry for the loss of your plants, Hope your other Heart plant lives .. 💜
thanks so much Tammy for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and heaps of PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXXX
I had no idea! Thank you!
That plant is awesome, they should sell a piece of cutting with it.
Thanx for making people aware of this scam.
Funny, people I see with them have good experiences with them.
Mines going strong?
I have 2 friends that got them as gifts like 3yrs ago and they're still alive but they're still pretty small. Def not big beautiful plants
Very interesting. Thank you for the warning, Lyn.
Thank you for sharing that information.
It is the instant gratification that people receive from giving a gift so if it lasts one week or one year the thought is what account, but it is good to know all this information even though the nursery itself knows that and they purposely sell it.. it is up to us to decide whether we want to spend the money or not and why?
Good education blogs carry on the hard task of education as you have done over Christmas tree ..well done
indeed it's sad, thank you for the heads up :)
Hi Lyn thanks for sharing your sad plants story ,lucky me I was going to get one same plants as yours one for myself and one for my sister because it has heart shaped leaves wanted to show how much I love my sister but you saved my money and my life or I would been so sad because I don't like plants dieing on me thank you for giving everyone great important information about this plant it doesn't live 😘👍🙃😊💞💕❤️💖💘🎁💋⭐️💓🌼🌷🌹🌺🌸💐🌻🌿🌵
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending tons of love and happiness and PLANT POWER your way for a wonderful weekend XXXXXX
I love mine! Great for work or cute gifts... but I also have a full plant.
Oh man! I just bought one from my local grocery, wasn’t sure how or if it would turn into a full plant but figured $7 wasn’t a huge risk. I’m happy to know if it does die it’s likely not my fault 😂
Hi Holly
So sad that is all about money. How sad will be a girl when see the plant that has been given to her with so much love, to dying. They don't care how people will feel the only thing they care is about money. Really very sad. Hope the one is still alive to survive and be a happy plant in the future. Very nice video Lyn. Thank you.
Olga's dreamland When I got my Hoda plant looked like the first one on the left a year ago,now is about 2 foot long with a lot of hearts.this kind of plants require a lot of moisture you suppose to put clear tape around it and plenty of sunshine.
@@lunababy78 I was wondering if your plant was just a single leaf cutting or did it have a node? I'm curious because I got them as an early valentine's gift so I'm trying to figure out if I should experiment with them or just let them grow.
Yes here in Philippines has alot of that hoya the life span of the leaf can only take 1 year or less you can buy a house with stem it's so beautiful especially the flowers it's smell so goood
Thanks for this video. They looked a little strange just sitting there so perfectly heart shaped. They're being sold in our local ASDA
Hi Lyn, I had this plant from Ikea, ant it sadly died after a year or so without any growth signs but it had roots. Once I took it out of pot I found out that its base (roots) were inserted in to an incredibly hard coconut fiber plug and I think that that was the main reason of the plant not being able to grow normally. So i’d suggest you to check your plant, whether it has the same hard plug around it. Anyway, goodluck and happy growing! :]
I found this on the root of mine that I got from tesco! Makes me think they put them there to stop growth during their time in the store? Anyway, I took mine off and reootted it, so fingers crossed! Did you have any luck with yours?
Wow, I've never seen those before!
We'll be in your neck of the woods in a couple of months! Ireland here we come!
Thats wonderful you will be Ireland soon :-D thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from Ireland for a wonderful new week ahead XXXX
Thanks for that information I was looking to get a 2 varieted leaf green with the cream to yellow boarders.
My plan was to get it late spring early summer and place it underneath a glass jar for humidity.
Like you I like succulent plants also in the UK.
Thats wonderful that you love Succulents too and are in the UK :-D the Variegated Hoya Kerri's are so beautiful
So glad I watched this video before I ordered one online. I was able to order one with 5 or 6 hearts. Will be arriving mid-April. Thank you for the advice.
I "had" 2 of the single leaf ones in the past... did not do so well.
Thats fantastic news you have ordered a Hoya kerri with 5-6 hears one, I bet you are so looking forward to receiving your new beauty, thanks so much Silvie for your awesome comments and support and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Monday XXXX
Good video and good advise....pity I was a bit late in seeing it....bought the cutting last week...😢....ah well we live and learn. Happy growing.
Did that cutting grew ? How is it doing ?
I’d love to have an update too! :)
I bought two of these from IKEA probably 4 years ago. They look exactly the same now as the day I got them, I water them from time to time (once every two weeks? once a week? I often forget about them) and they haven't died but haven't grown either. Almost like a fake plant!
Lmfao funny old plant I have one as well. He grumpy to!
I realise this is an old post but I also bought one from IKEA about 5 yrs ago. It didn't appear to grow at all and then last year the leaves multiplied. This year it actually flowered, it's beautiful!
@@kerrykhalil4482 I hope mine blooms too. Mine is around 4 years old, it hasn't died but it also hasn't grown at all. The roots have continued to sprout so I have my fingers crossed. Did you do anything special?
@@selinae8433 Did you repot it at all?
Good advise Lyn👍🏻
So I bought one at my local grocery store last Mother’s Day. I thought it was fake because the rocks were glued down! Well recently I noticed my leaf looks like it’s starting to shrivel up! It’s still green! I decided to break into the rocks and I saw roots and dirt! I can’t believe my plant has lived for 8 months in low light and no water!
WOW its amazing how these plants can survive and the good news is if you have roots it could recover and still grow, sometimes these single leaves will send out new shoots from the base of the original leaf if they have a node attached from the original leaf cutting and the roots have formed, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a fantastic Thursday XXXX

Thats fantastic news that you have a new leaf growing on one of your Hoya kerri leaves, its always so exciting when we see new growth, good luck with your Hoy kerri's and thanks so much for watching and for your wonderful comment XXXX
thankyou for that one ,will avoid.x
Man I'm sad... I was so excited when I bought this, since I've wanted a Hoya Kerri vine since forever. Not just that, but these are WAY over price for a single leaf that's gonna die, I mean $10 for disappointment. I still love my girl, but still upset over that.
Hi! I got one from Sainsburys last Valentines day and mine is still going strong! it hasn't grown any stems yet but it certainly hasn't died. So hopefully yours will be okay :)
Much appreciated information, I was one of those suckers that thought my lady would love this and it is now dying
Oh no I am so sorry to hear this, its such a shame that these plants are sold and a lot of them do not survive for long, thanks so much for watching and have a wonderful day XXXX
I bought one too. Ughh. Thanks for the information
Hi Tumika
I never had a problem with these - 100% success with them - they are very easy.
BlueAeroVanilla What do you recommend?
I bought three of these without knowing what they really were. Two died and one has continued being green despite having been pulled out of the pot it was pretty much glued into and tossed aside to be thrown out. But yesterday I discovered it was still hanging on, so I've brought it inside, put it in a jar of water, and will see what happens. Thanks for the info in your video!
I will be keeping my fingers crossed for your Hoya kerri
Good advice I will resist buying these now I know😅
I got some as a gift and I have had my leaves for over 7 years. Even though they haven't done much, the leaves are still alive. I wish they would do more, but I guess as long as they are still living I'm OK with that. Thanks for the info.
Thats fantastic news your leaves are still going strong 7 years later, and I have heard of these single leaf Hoya's growing a new stem 10 years later, and I bet yours will send out new growth from the base in the future too, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXXX
So it should grow on... I've always wondered about that!!
I think nurseries have changed to coconut husk fiber to make sure people can't over water them as easy. Hoya like being drenched and then dried out, they fare better in smaller pots that dry out faster. as they don't have huge root balls I hear most don't rely on roots when established. Also I just watched a video that says it's because if you do not have stem or petiole attached it's won't start any vine. The rooting hormone just roots the leaf and not the stem.
Hi there :-D yes so true, the leaf has to have a stem with a node and petiole attached to grow a vine, thanks so much for sharing the info and for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a wonderful weekend XXXX
Thank you for the information Lyn :) Faith xo
Ive had my single leaf one for about 5 years, but I just repotted it and it was root bound !
WOW with having your single leaf Hoya for 5 years, the good news if it has a good root system it has a very good chance of growing into a full plant over time, my one Hoya single leaf that survived took 3 years to show any signs of new growth and now it is a nice sized plant, thats wonderful you have repotted yours and I bet you will see new growth in the near future, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, sending lots of PLANT POWER for a wonderful new week XXXX
I had gotten myself one around valentines this year and this morning I woke up and saw it had gotten all flimsy, I felt like such a bad plant mother. Glad to know it's not because of anything I did but still sad that my plant probably won't survive.
Thats such a shame Penny, it seems to be very hit and miss with these single leaf Hoyas, but I hope it will survive for you, thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a fantastic Thursday XXXX
Thanks for the warning Lyn! I will stay away from these if I see them. I can see why people would be tempted to buy them though.
thanks so much Jim for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness from Ireland for a wonderful new week ahead XXXX
Nice plants mam
i bought one of these today from Asda got it home took it out of it's pot put it in water to soften the what ever they use to pot them up carefully toot it all off it had plenty of roots growing then repot it in some better mix seemed to have good root system so i think it might survive fingers crossed
Thats brilliant news yours has a great root system on it Barry :-D it should survive as the rooted ones have a good start, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle for a wonderful new week XXXXX
At the greenhouse I work at we use hormidin rooting horemne for all cuttings expte for succulent cuttings 😃

How's it doing now?

Me too!😂😂
@@honestlylauren5344 my died a month ago I over water it I think
@@josephsandoval2701 Oh no! Rip
I had one last year for Valentine's day and the soil was full of small sliver looking bugs. I didn't realise until it was to late and the bugs spread to my millipede habitat, I had to buy some type one preditory mites to get rid of the silver bugs. Lesson learned to always check my soil!
Informative, thanks
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Tuesday XXXX
Hi Lyn, just to confirm, my hoya leaf from last Valentines day (from a florist my hubby bought) is still looking the same, somewhat yellower, I am wondering how long it will hang on :D
So it's like a fiddle leaf fig leaf cutting. It will root but it does not have any stem cells to push out a stem. Thanks for warning us I was just getting ready to buy one!
I was given one 2 years ago. I've only just thrown it away as it started rotting.
Nice sharing
thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a terrific Thursday XXXX
Thanks for this video. I just bought one.......a single leaf on clearance for $4. Hopping it will live & ?maybe grow?🌺👍🌼
Thats wonderful you have bought one of these Hoya kerri leaves, its very possible that yours will live and grow, the good news is the one I bought survived and has now grown into a wonderful plant, it sat still for two years and then started to grow new shoots and leaves, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX
I saw one today that actually developed a shout that was coming up at the side of the pot..so it is possible 😊
Thats fantastic, and the wonderful news is one of these Hoya kerri single hearts that I got has now grown into a beautiful plant with lots of heart leaves, I am so happy, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
I just bought my hoya leaf 8 months ago , and yesterday, I was surprised it has new little one for me, with 2 small leaves already. :) So heart hoya lovers, don't lose
hope. Good luck to all!
Thats fantastic news, its so exciting to see new growth, and definitely don't lose hope, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
omg! Your little heart rotted is rotting away :P I've just started seeing these on youtube today. I had no clue they existed. What a horrible way to go :(
I know its so awful and worse if you get them from a loved one and the plant dies of a broken heart, these plant gimmicks are awful and just a way for the big nurseries to make big bucks for Valentines, its a shame they dont sell the plant with the stem as it would live longterm :-( thanks so much for you wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX
i had one that lived for 4 years as a leaf and then started growing a shoot :D
No Way! That's amazing! I just got one and have no clue what am I doing, so please send me some tips if you can, I want mine grow too and not die. Thanks!
😯
Arijana Lukic not much water 💦 and good light 💡 but not directly sun ☀️ light ☀️
U give me hope
Omg! I looked at mine and i have THREE sprouts with heart shaped leaves on them around the parent plant!!!!
I bought one a few days ago it had been reduced , it was over waterd and looking a bit sad, luckily the water hadn't stagnated, as is often the case plants that have been sitting in a shop for two long ! I took it out of its pot and wrapped the root ball in kitchen towel several times to absorb the access water then l potted it in a good quality cutting compost , whish me luck
Good luck with growing your Heart Hoya Dave :-D I have heard from other people that they still have their plants going strong from last year and mine is still doing well, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXXX
There are lots of Hoya care videos on TH-cam. They don'e need too much water and not too much sun. I grow lots from cuttings because my old ones sometimes die back in our climate. My suggestion would be to keep the heart for as long as possible and then lay it on its side and keep fairly dry. It should grow. If it takes off put it in a hanging basket grow in succulent and cactus potting mix. I'm going to buy a heart now and see what happens!!! Many other plants you buy have been feed hormones and fertilisers I always say they are on steroids!!!
I just bought one today not knowing there is no stem. So this is interesting to read. So You recommend that I try to propagate it like other succulents? By laying them flat on cactus soil? Then how often and how they should get watered in this position? Thank youuu! I want my hoya leaf to live!
Thank you for thectip.
We had them where I work at Safeway, I stayed away from buying it. They were in a Christmas stalking ( cute but not my style ) after there only being a Few left I ended up getting it for a dollar. So wishing you luck as you wish me luck with it ;)
I really want to full version of it now :)
Good luck with growing them Lynn
I was given a hoya kerii by my aunt and it is also just a single leaf plant. Hmm...guess i gotta take care of it thoroughly. Typically the plants that needs an indirect light are normally putted in a shade of my guava tree. And only water them if they are dry and mist them a bit.
I also dont mind if they dont become full grown plants as long as they are well taken care of.
Good luck with your Hoya Kerrii :-D and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching and have a fantastic plant powered weekend ahead XXXX
I saw a bunch of these in the store and they all looked like the yellow one, there was only one green one and I decided to save it from what I thought was overwatering store employees, now I wonder if my little green on is the 10% that actually survive! Funny because I didn't even want the plant but I felt I had to save it.
Thats wonderful you have a plant rescue of one of these Hoya Kerri plants, the good news is mine survived long term and is now a wonderful plant with new stems and leaves, it sat still for a couple of years and then started to grow, I will film an update on how my Hoya kerri looks now in the next couple of days, good luck with your new Hoya kerri and thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a super Sunday XXXX
what a shame, thanks for the warning. It is good to know. Also beautiful thought at the end of the video:-)
Im cryin 😩 I just bought one after eyeing them up for so long
Hi Adrianna :-D the good news is there is a possibly yours may still survive, check out my latest video I made yesterday on how my single leaf Hoya kerri looks now : th-cam.com/video/0jt0h95LFYM/w-d-xo.html thanks so much for watching and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday XXXX
Just bought one and it had a little sprout at the bottom. Hopefully it grows into a plant.
Thats wonderful news Tiffany
I potted mine up in a bigger pot - nothing - then out of despair (2 years later) I put a kalanchoe cutting in with it and to my surprise they both grew, I do think plants like company.

Darn it, I fell for it!!!
Oh my! I just bought one from Kroger this morning! lol. When I got home realized the whole top layer was glued rocks around it. Took it out of little pot and got all that off and repotted. I will baby it and see what happens
Good luck with your Hoya leaf Tonya
Hi me again 😂. My plant has a node. Is it okay to look at the roots under the soil to see if it has roots? I really want to watch it grow some of those beautiful leaves. 😊
Thats fantastic news your Kerri has a node and yes you can remove your kerri from the pot to check the roots, the good news is although it can take a long time before these kerri's will grow, if they have a node they will eventually shoot new growth and once they take off they can grow nice and fast, thanks so much Mary Elizabeth for your wonderful comments and support and for watching, sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER to California for a wonderful week ahead XXXX
Just found this video because my hoya kerri is looking sick. This helped me to know its not me. thanks
