I purchased mine from Ikea about 9 years ago on a sale after Valentine’s Day not even knowing that it actually is a leave cutting :D For 7 years it was always looking the same. No matter what I did. I even managed to not water it for months and it wouldn’t show any signs of change...At times I even thought it was a fake plant. Two years ago, for some reason I decided to repot it and all of the sudden after a month or so there was a little stem peeking through the soil :) today I have a 50cm high Hoya kerii sitting on my window sill!
The same happened to me! Crazy
How did you do it? I
@@erickagurrrhx3 Mine came in a itty bitty pot. I repotted into a pot that was the depth of my windowstill, and watered consistently. The mainleaf died back, but up came a new sprout that must gave been of a nod beneath the soil. It grew quite large, and quite fast once it got going, actually. Single stem only though.
SEVEN YEARS? .. thats a long time.
Yep, had mine for 6 years and then all.of a sudden we had shoots and two new leaves last summer! Gonna repot it soon hence watching this vid 😁🌱
My boyfriend gave me one for Valentine's day and it had 2 leaves, one in front of the other, in one small pot and a year later it started to actually grow a stem and now has 6 new leaves and counting. It's a pleasant surprise!
D D They grow so slowly! darn!
How nice
I hope mine too👍👍
Rad!
Wow!
Yes I bought a one leaf plant 7 years ago and now it have 18 leaves and 4bunch of flower (sorry if it's not comprehensible i'm french)
You’re English is great!
Caitlin Schembri your * 😅
Votre anglais est mieux que ma francaise :') I learned a lot of french back in school and it's such a fun language but there is nobody to speak french with here! Unfortunately, I have forgotten most of it :'(
I buy one with only 1 leaves like 2 years ago, and today I notice a new one is growing! I’m so excited 😆
My 1 leaf plant from Valentines Day, has grown so big, it now has about 5 leaves and looks beautiful!
I bought my husband a single leaf 9 years ago and wondered what on earth ot was when it started to grow a nobbly bit but it’s now a full plant and one of my favourite plants 🥰
at my local nursery they have a 6 foot wide hoya kerrii covered in blooms
Mine sat around for almost 4 years with no change a repot and fertiliser and boom I have 10 hearts, 3ft stem , and a need to propagate.
Great video. Thanks.
I bought just the leaf at the grocery store for Valentines. It took 2 years before it sent up a growth now it is growing like crazy.
How did you get it to go?
Great
I got a plant from a leaf! Had her since July and she’s on her 3rd leaf. I got lucky and mine had a node.
These comments are giving me hope😊. I bought 2 single leaf (one green and one variegated). When I repotted them, I saw that the green one has roots and the variegated one doesn't have roots but it has a tiny stem attached to it. Wish us luck!
I got really lucky when I bought 2 single leaf Hoya Kerrii. One of them is still just a cute little heart leaf. The other popped out two nodes within a few weeks! I now have 2 new leaves and 2 on the way from the new nodes! In about 6 weeks the leaves have grown to 2/3 the the mother leaf. I've heard this almost never happens. It has definitely been a fun highlight to such a crazy 2020. :)
Hey Summer! Richard here from the Philippines. About those single hoya kerrii leaves that they sell planted in a pot, I have friends who have actually bought those and kept and cared for them for years. They say theirs eventually put out a sprout but it took 3 years for it to happen 😂. Hope that helps!
Those one-leaf wonders remind me of little severed heads in pots. Unless you have a node somewhere under the soil, it will forever be hoya head cabbage. I purchased two of them as a noob and they languish in my tiny hidden-away windowsill freak show.
wtf is this comment lmao
First I laughed at the comment, then at your name 😂😂😂
😂 this answered my question perfectly and made me laugh
😂😂😂😂😂 Hoya Head Cabbage.
I bought a one leaf version from Ikea, 3 years later it sprouted a stalk and now 4 years later it has 7 leaves.
In my native region of Malaysia, there is actually a notable Hoya species called Hoya caudata which resembles lichen/moss covered leaves which gives it a silver splatter effect on the leaves. Others worth mentioning include Hoya imperialis (known for its stunning blooms), Hoya elliptica( looks like painted 6 packs), Hoya lacunosa(flowers resembling weird, fuzzy Chamomile), Hoya latifolia (huge, lengthy leaves and some are variegated), Hoya multiflora( flowers resembling shooting stars), Hoya sussuela (has stunning blooms almost like Hoya imperialis) and many others. The world of Hoyas is truly filled with wonders. :)
Do you know if Hoya Caudata is common and easily to get one in Malaysia? Thank you!
The single leaves are so cute, I want one so bad
I bought one for my office desk that was one leaf in a very small pot about 6 years ago. It was just that one leaf for a good two years, then it started growing like crazy once it was no longer in an office basement with only fluorescent light, but now in an upstairs office with natural light. Mine wasn't trained to grow up so it's spreading out, it now has 15 leaves and I've been thinking about propagating it. However, I read that a mature plant will bloom around 5-7 years so I am going to wait another years before cutting it. The babies I'll be training so the stem goes up rather than sprawling all over my desk. I also read that most Hoya Kerrii cut to one stem don't typically survive, and if they do they take at least two years to start growing a stem (what I read was exactly what I experienced). However, this baby survived in a basement office room for two years with no natural lighting so they are very very hardy even if it wasn't growing it wasn't dying.
I purchased a hot Kerrii with one leaf and I’m now starting to get another one! So exciting! Mine is thriving in an eastern facing window.
I just received 3 Hoya Kerrii today. They are each one leaf per 2 inch pot. I got them from COSTA Farms via Home Depot. I ordered it from the Home Depot website and received them in very good condition, they were packed very well. Thank you for the care/growing information.
Last year around August I planted a single leaf 🍃 OMG ❤️🍃❤️🍃 a week ago, I realized that i have a stem with 2 little leaf 🍃 i wish a can post a picture so you can see it... (I water it regular) bright light 💡 south faced window..
You should do an experiment with single leaf hoya kerrii. Take cuttings of various lengths and see which ones develop into vines. It wouldn't be the most scientific, but it would make for an interesting video.
I've seen a video from a woman in Brazil who started with just one leaf and one year after the plant is humongous, living in full day long sun
I received one of the single heart cuttings as a gift, I’ve had it for over 4 years and I swear it’s still the same size as when I got it 😂 however it’s well rooted and appears to be doing well
I've managed to grow a plant from a leaf in the soil I purchased from the Eden Project, it was cheap so I didn't expect much and I'm now on my 4th new leaf just starting to bud!
I have had one for 2+ years. Just this week a new leaf emerged from the soil. I was not expecting it to grow into a full plant.
💚💚💚 just added these to my orchid collection. I keep them outside. Can’t wait for them to grow and bloom
My daughter gave me a potted leaf for Valentine's day and it looked the same for about 2-3 years, then suddenly it shot a stem up from the soil next to the leaf, and began growing at a fast rate! I can see the new leaf grow daily. It currently has about 15 leaves on it, and the original leaf is still just standing in the soil beside the stem!
I was given a single heart in the soil. 1 year later it now has a separate stem growing in the soil directly beside it, with several hearts growing off that stem! I’m so excited!
Oh I love the Hoya kerrii, and it is on my wish list, both of them. I have a few other Hoyas and love them as well, but this one is one of my favorites. Thank you again Summer.
Very nice info..thanks dear
suzanne here , i had a very large one and met a lady on line, that wanted one and could not find one, so i sold her mine, i was not a fan of this one, so i was happy to sell it to her, cheap, glad i did , i prefer the obtuse hoya much better, which i have 2 of those, my grandson loves it haha
My heart shaped leaf grew offshoots after many years. It’s now growing on a trellis and it has many hearts.
I've had mine for over a year. Started a second leaf and another stem about 6 months ago and now I have a full bloom which is just gorgeous. I would love to add a photo.
The gateway plant to full blown hoya addiction! If you get a single leaf cutting you will need three things in abundance to get it to grow & branch off: time (& lots of patience), tons of bright light and constant high humidity. I've had the best results placing them in enclosed containers until they get established. Just be sure you don't cook it in direct sun!
😉👍
Peter Cardona should you mist them occasionally? Or just let it be
@@anhtopoftheworld get a tent!
Yes my one leave grows into a beautiful vine
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 💚💚
We have had one for some years and it has grown about 1.5 feet and is now flowering for the very 1st time
I love Hoyas. But this one I think requires a lot more light than what I think my house gets. I use to have one a while ago. It did okay because I kept it in a bright light areas of my former home. Thanks for sharing. Great tips. Blessings.
My one is quite big. It was left behind by a house mate at my boyfriends shared house and I've been caring it and its growing really well and I named it Lewis. I also have an Anthurium Flamingo Flover plant also left by the old house mate and I've been caring for that too and again its flourishing nicely with loads of red flowers and I named it sebastian and my boyfriend made the joke that I accidentally named them after the 2 formula 1 drivers lol.
Love this series Summer !!
I was gifted one single heart then later over the course of 2 years it grew a stem and now there’s a lot of hearts on it.
thank you for this video Summer, cant wait to get this Hoya in my house.
I had one of the two leaf plant for years with no growth. Then I repotted it and now it's grown alot. I have two baby's from it.
These should be called plantera-surprisa because when you by them you just never know if anything will happen. When you do hear stories it's always had it for years nothing happened then boom 😂
I bought 2 leaves at a local flower shop in February about 2 years back to hopefully have them produce a growth. i repotted them cause they were way too cramped together, was about to give up on them and were about to throw them out when my mom said that she could take care of them. And just a few weeks back i saw a little sprout in the soil!
repotting it is they key :)
These videos give me life.
I actually tried to pull mines out from the soil. It was pretty snug so I assume there’s some kind of root/node in there (fingers cross).
Its #1 in my Hoya wishlist, love its leaves 💚🌿 but I have other beautiful Hoyas, probably would be a great idea to do a Hoya haul on my channel. 🐁 They are just gorgeous plants ❤️
Me too. But they're so expensive online.. lol. I've been hoping someone can give or sell me a cutting locally.
@@monicaw3082 I hope to score one on a plant swap I will attend this Saturday! 😋🌿
I was surprised when I see the Hoya Kerri flowers cams back again after losing their petals from the same bunch!!! This is a lovely surprise for me!! I never known any other plant does this!! Please post if yours did. Thanks. 🙂
Just bought one of the singular leaf babies, can’t wait to see how it turns out for me! I was hoping you were going to do a video on them! 😂
I bought a single leaf hoya Kerri last year and I was okay with the fact that it wasn't going to grow a stem. I just think they're so cute with a single leaf. After about a month of no watering and being kept in medium light, I went to water it and there is a stem already 1cm long.
I 💚that hoyaaa!!!!!!!
1 yr. Ago I bought this one single heart Hoya and now it has two grown from it, but only one is in the shape of a heart💚
I bought a single leaf Hoya Kerri when I first saw it. Honestly I didn’t even know much about it besides that I loved and wanted to make it my child 😂 I read that it won’t really grow, which was fine by me. It looked really cute in my pot so I was happy. Then out of no where a few weeks after I bought it, something started to sneak out of the ground. Next thing you know after awhile longer I noticed it growing another heart....which confused me. When I did more research apparently it’s supper rare or doesn’t happen because it sends on if it has a stem or not. I guess mine ended up having one, but I never checked. I wish I had now so I could tell people if they grow or not without a stem, but at the time I didn’t know much about it or what to research
I bought one with 2 leafs in 1 pot start of the year, i seperated them to check if had stem only to be disapointed it had no stem at all it was just 2 leafs put into a small container, i decided to yolo it and put it in 1 part perlite 2 parts cacti soil in 7 cm dm clay pot and put it in my suniest window that gets 10 hours of direct sunlight as its a sky light rest of the day bright indirect light, just couple of minutes ago i checked and i discovered a vine, i guess you can grow these by single leaf, if kept the humidity around 50 to 60% altho it dips below 40% if the sun hits and airconditioning is full blast with temps around 38 39c under my window during heatwave mostly ignored it watered it monthly more or less.
Im so happy now that i ignored information on the internet and just tryit anyway, cant wait for it to flower.
Cool..
I don't have one yet, but plan on getting one some day🌿😊🌿
People need to beware of the growers simply plunging a detached leaf into soil: those will never become a plant. If you look carefully at it and they have planted a stem node with the leaf attached into the soil, then those can grow into an actual plant. Personally, for the money, I would wait and buy an actual plant, not those gimmicky valentine sale single leaf pots.
bkrbkrl I’ve grown a hoya from a leaf, not the sweethearts though
I've grown 2 keriis from a single leaf, one I got in ikea (for under 1 eur lol) and it was stuck in flower foam instead of soil and somehow I was lazy enough to leave it that way for like 2 and a half years, then it suddenly grew into a plant. And the second one was a broken off leaf from this plant, I stuck it in soil in winter and now in summer after 6 months it started growing. Most people just probably don't want to wait that long, tho it's a very fast grower and it goes from nothing to something I don't know what to do with very quickly.
Beautiful specimens.
I have the variegated version, but it get sun burnt easily, not sure why.
Ohhhhhhh I want one!
I made the mistake of buying just the leaf in soil once. I had it for two years and the only thing it ever grew was roots. Never again. I now have a small collection of hoyas that are doing well. I have a difficult time with the watering though, as I am over-waterer. I hate the thought of them going dry, but I am slowly allowing myself to leave them be. They seem happy enough. I think I did over-water one pot of about a half dozen little cuttings though, the leaves developed black spots and started dropping off. One of them managed to survive and has brought me a new leaf, happy about that :) Thanks for your videos, I've learned a lot from you.
I gave one to my girlfriend 9 years ago with only one leaf. After 5 years, all of a sudden, There was one stem coming up. After a while I repotted it. The stem divided in two after 40 cm. Now I have 21 leaves. The först years I hardly watened it åt all. Now it got a little water now and then. It stands in a northern window.
Hi Summer,
Thanks for all of the great videos! I was wondering whether the Kerri needs a soil sweetener like oyster shells? Thank you!
Did I miss it or did she not give watering instructions??
Treated as succulent and grows well in well draining soil.
Please do a video on hoya carnosa tri colour
How big does the node have to be for it to survive? I bought one and it does have about an inch of stem at the base of the single leaf. It does have a huge root system too.
My one leave wined out realy big. Flower nearly every year.
Awesome information! I picked some up at #traderjoes today. I am a plant hoarder and hope our single hearts grow into plants like yours... They seem similar to dragon fruit in their needs, so I will treat them like an indoor dragon fruit.
I bought mine from an online source that came with a node. However, it looked like the original cutting was just a buried leaf, and the node was a branch off from it. Now, mine has grown 4 new leaves and loves the cactus soil I used. However, one of my new leaves stayed small, yellowed, and fell off. Any idea why a new leaf wouldn't develop and die?
can you make a video on soil mix for this variety of plants ?I have killed 2 of them so far in the past and bought a new one today . im scared
They can grow really fast or slow Hoya can be moody if they don't have the right window.
I can't find any Hoyas here in Ireland and I've only seen the single leaf Kerrii pots which make me so sad!
I have just bought a single leaf Hoya Kerrii 😂 rookie mistake but maybe it will end up being a miracle plant in 7 years time. I feel so silly not to know this.
I got 6 pots of this from Bangkok. Yes I smuggled it.
Such a slow growing plant. Been 8 mths and I dont see an inch moving up. I get good brightness and make sure soil dried up before watering. Im using wood barks mixed with 20 compose. Still......so slow!!
@@itsgoingtobeok-justbreathe4808 yes I did. That yellow beads slow releaser.
My variegated Kerri grows new leaves but they curl in on itself. What’s going on?
I received this plant a few years ago. It had only one heart. It grown quite tall with many hearts. It’s over 2 feet tall now and it will be touching the ceiling soon(it’s on a cabinet because the cats think they should be able to chew on it). Can I cut it back or should I just let it do it’s own thing once it hits the ceiling?
Mine shot out a stem adjacent to the leaf cutting
I bought a single leaf from IKEA and about 2 years later it suddenly sprouted other branches, now the leaves are larger and it's very long, don't know what I'm going to do with it
It's almost endearing that you don't know the struggle of the single leaf kerrii 😅 I feel pretty lucky to of never bought one either. Recieved one as a goodbye gift. It did nothing for the first couple months & then exploded with tons of new growth this summer 😍
The one leaf hoya stay like that forever (at least for me). I got it back in 2017 and it's literally stay the same till now.
it does start to grow ... my took more then 2 years .. now its having 3 leafs (:
@@gerg423 I guess yours got node , mine is simply a single leaf.
Any idea why mine has two newer leaves that are cupped shaped?
I am worried my variegated Kerri will burn if I put it under a stronger grow light again. How far away from the light should it be?
I was told they do not grow more because there is no node.
Hi! I just got a single leaf hoya, and having read the comments I'm already preparing to wait for 7 years for them to grow leaves :D But the problem is that the leaf got damaged during delivery. There's a crack left to right through the entire leaf. The leaf still holds together, and I've tried to fix it up with something, but I'm afraid that the upper part won't get enough water and nourishment, and the leaf will die. Is there a way to fix broken hoyas? Is there a chance at all it will grow back together? I'm okay with it not growing new stems, I just don't want it to die altogether :(
Hello, any idea as to what causes some of the Kerrii leaves to curl?
I've heard these plants are epiphytes. So could you mount this on an appropriately sized piece of bark?
Dont they grow into a vine? Like, wont they need some form of support-thing they can climb on?
Tips on watering???
How do you water variegated hoya kerrii that is wrapped around coconut husk. I’m scared that it might root rot when i water it often, and i’m also scared that i might underwater it. Help me :(( Thanks!
Don't over water is the secret we can't always know houses like to dry. Out and they will come back if neglected
Just got one but now have been informed the one leaf is a bit of a gimmick and most dont actually grow
So annoying
I'll try but I know for next time
Hello . Can I buy this green? I live in Iran
I just bought a 3 leaf plant, one of the leafs has a lumpy texture and a lighter shade of green. Anyone know what might be the cause?
My hoya kerii died this time... so sad 😥.. cos i gave it a garden soil medium....
i bought a variegated one off amazon LOL but it died when i transferred it "(
My Hoya has black spots on the under side of the leaf. Does anyone know what causes that?
Natalie Crews Mine also has some black spots on some leaves and from which can be a natural occurrence with these types...just as long as your not noticing any infection like symptoms (yellowing in the leaves, weakening of the plant or severe blackening) then it should be okay. If you do notice signs of infection or some other concerning factors I would either, repot, disinfect (with antiseptic or fungicide, treat for insects or do all three, of course just depending on what is needed. I have a pretty nice collection and plan on doing some care tips and tricks in future videos. Good luck with yours and HAPPY GROWING!
Hello. I bought the one single leaf recently and it grows a new leaf. I have a concern because the new leaf is curling. I know that new leaves tend to be very thin. Btw- the new leaf is just 1 month old. So maybe is normal?!?!
