My Mother was gifted a single leaf, after her Heart Surgery in 2015. It sprouted, and it's now thickly covered with leaves, it flowers, and is now over 10ft tall, with 3 spikes. My Mother has long since departed, but it's so special to me. I'd be devastated if it died now. I only use tap water that has been standing out for at least 4 days, watering every 4 days, just a little bit. It lives in my Bathroom, so it gets steamed by the shower every day. You said it's slow growing... but with mine, you can literally see the growth every day in Summer. Lol. I think it's going to turn into "Audrey" from Little Shop Of Horrors, one day! Lol
People told me the leaf would forever be a leaf but the little heart hoya my bf gave me 4 years ago now has 4 leaves. We're getting married tomorrow ;w;
Congratulations
Congratulations to you both 🎉
What a beautiful comment 🙏 I just purchased a small pot with two hoya karii hearts in it from the local garden centre and trust that alike your single hoya that multiplied, mine will do too 💚🕊
Thank you for making this video!!! I actually did get this gift from my husband for Valentine’s Day. Two heart shaped leaves coming out of a small pot. I decided while watching your video to pull it out of its nursery pot to see what action was happening and I was delighted to see that both of my leaves are on one stem and there are a ton of roots all around! Yay! Looks like I may actually have a viable plant! 🪴 I could also see where I think the stem might come up so maybe in 6 months I’ll see something happen 😂
I have one that was languishing for about 10 years until last year when I brought it outside for the summer, in dappled shade under a tree. It turned into a monster and I swear every time it rained, it grew a new leaf. I realized then that it actually loves moisture/humidity!
Brb putting mine in my greenhouse
I’m surprised you called this a slow grower, I have 3 variegated full plants but my leaves are very close together and then all of a sudden one of them just put out this loooong vine from the top with loads of nodes on it, I was so confused and now each node is growing 2 leaves all at the same time, idk what’s happening but all of mine stay in full direct sun always, I got a free non-variegated form that honestly had one leaf when I bought all my variegated ones, but it now has 6 leaves in a year and a half I’m not even kidding mine grow so so fast but my variegated Hindu ropes grow slooooow, most of my Hoyas bloom except the Kerii! I have my silver splash outside and it’s growing super fast so I might put them all outside. Btw when I got the one leaf non-variegated one it had a stem with a node and the leaf was above that node which I’m assuming is why it grew a full plant
Thank you for featuring one of my favorite houseplant that I own. I bought my first one year ago with nodes. It gave me 5 new leaves last year and currently sprouting 2 new leaves. Awesome!
I’ve had two single leave Hoya kerrii for several years and a year ago one started to grow and is now producing a flower 🌸 ❤️
It certainly grows welll in the 40+++C degree range. I live in one of Australias hottest towns and this hoya grows like you wouldn't believe in a high light but shaded area. It's dry and hot like an oven during summer here. I water it weekly in summer and about monthly over winter.
That’s great to hear! Im in Adelaide and mine are growing under a very bright pergola, grows very fast as well! Looks like they love heat!
i just ordered one of these as a birthday present to myself and i'm so excited to see it. thanks for the info!
I love how you deliver information. So naturally. Pure pleasure to watch.
😊 Your videos that spotlight a singular plant's care are fantastic and just what I've been looking for, so a million thanks. I definitely would like one in my collection. Even though it's very slow growing, it would be a perfect "contrast" plant in amoungst some bushier and lower growing plants. Plus, I would be SO excited when I saw signs of new growth. I would be all atwitter! 🎉❤
Thanks Nick. Have always been reluctant to purchase this Hoya for fear it won’t grow.
wow I literally got a Hoya Kerri yesterday, so what perfect timing! thank u
A friend of mine had one of those single heart-shaped leaves in a pot and after a bit more than a year of doing nothing, it started sprouting, so it definitely had a node. Later, the plant even flowered.
Hi Nick! Your Kerrii looks pretty good. I hope it decides to grow for you. The single leaf are cute, but not worth having if there's a good chance they won't grow. I've heard that about them, too. Thank you so much for sharing!
I have one of these that I bought in a 6in pot and it had two leaves on it. I put it out on my covered, south facing balcony and in one summer it grew to the same size as the one you have in your video. I was so surprised at how fast it grew, I think it must’ve just been the perfect condition for it. High humidity and temps were between 80-95 degrees F. And it did get a shit ton of light, though at one point it did actually start to burn and I had to move it lol.
I’m hoping I can get it to grow like that again this summer. Fingers crossed!
Thank you! Such a helpful video!
I purchased a heart in a pot.. 8 years later it’s almost 3’ tall!
First an love it
Mine is insane, it went crazy when I bought it a frame to grow on. Like all hoya, if it is supported it will grow and grow so many leaves.
This is absolutely so crazy I literally was looking a few days ago for this video like this form you.
I have a hoya kerri that I thought I burnt... it loved it!
Lucky me for you to post a video just the day before I purchased my Kerri. I love your videos nick you offer so much help with them. If possible could you post something on geogenathus ciliatus💚please
They were talking on a podcast the other days saying it needed high humidity like Terrarium type level only. Depressing
Hi Nick, I have the variegated version of this one and it took 12 months before I got one new leaf and that was after putting it under grow lights and increasing the humidity. Also, I transferred her from soil to LECA in a self-watering pot and she seems happier now than before.
Agreed! With my busy schedule, I keep all of my plants in LECA, including the single-leafed plant I got for valentine's day 3 years ago. I'm surprised to hear that it can be a slow grower, I feel like I have to chop off the top every month so that it doesn't burn under my grow lights! It's a super fast grower and during the Spring it'll produce new leaves like every other week.
my kerri is very green and producing leaves this spring non stop. I do have pretty high humidity for the winter, around 40 to 60% so maybe that explains the growth and color? It was under a grow light, but I just moved it to a west window sill for the summer. I guess I will put it outside if it stops growing. I learned about the non growing leaves before I bought it, probably from you, so thank you very much.
My one leaf cutting grew after 2 years! It grew 6 leaves in 12 months! Had it under grow lights and it grew right after i gave it fertilizer *by mistake!
Super helpful! I also bought two 4in plants and potted them together. I watered her yesterday but wasn't sure if she needed it. This is perfect timing 😊
recently got a koya kerrii splash, thanks for the video (:
I have a kerri. Its about 2 years old. And i just found a small peduncle! I hope hope hope i will get some blooms.
Interestingly I bought a single leaf heart last year, then I saw a video on TH-cam on how these single leaves usually turn into nothing. So I wasn't expecting anything. Well she made three new leaves, and even though that original leaf rotted and died, I've got a little Kerrii plant with three leaves on it now. I hope it'll grow a bit more now that growing season has started again.
Usually the leaves I prop with on any plant dies so you didn’t do anything wrong there. Congratulations on your plant!
@@sonialinsey8083 You wouldn't believe how big it is now...it's got six leaves and three on the way. It's even got a peduncle, though no flowers. And it's got a really long stem. I had to get it a bamboo stick, the U shaped ones.
Thank you! I came here to check that very ‘single leaf’ cutting thing
Wonderful video, but I wonder, is it a succulent?
The plant looks great, I love the look with the pot and the stake! Now if I could just find one locally that does not have any splash or variegation!
I have one that grew from a single leaf!!
I have a Keri and it actually grows quite quickly for me, I’ve gotten 5 or 6 new leaves in the past 2 or 3 months BUT I do find a lot of the leaves on the bottom have yellowed/rotted :( I think the soil mix is too dense and this video confirmed that! Will be changing out soon!
Mine’s in terracotta with almost pure coco coir…seems to be doing ok as long as I fertilize. Some people prefer leca for this but I’ve never tried it.
❤️
Hey there I'd be so grateful for some advice please. I bought a cutting of a Hoya Kerrii Variegata (in a tiny nursery pot with 6 leaves, but I've just lost its oldest leaf🥺 hoping that's not a bad sign) nearly 2 months ago now. So happy as it was one off my wishlist. It's sitting in my SE facing windowsill I think (it gets sun from 11am-ish) but my kitchen is cold now (I live in the London, UK). I only recently realised that the cutting is growing out of what looks like a hard plug of bark (a few white roots have started to appear, peeping through the bottom of this bark- like structure). I really thought it was just hard soil that desperately needed aeration. My question is, should I leave it as is until spring and then repot, or do it now because I need to get rid of whatever it is growing out of? When it is time to repot what's its preferred substrate? Thanks in advance
My single leaf hoya grew a stem from nearby the leaf . It took over a year though.
a stem from nearby the leaf .
Mine kept getting attacked by thrips, and scale. Didn’t wanna deal lol. Still a lovely hoya though, just can’t seem to keep the buggies off :T
I bought a pair of hoya kerii that lookslike 2 leaf cutting but they do have some nice roots. Do you think they'll produce stems eventually? Roots usually only grow from stem tissue of plants so that's why I ask.
💚🌿
On mine the leaves are soft & curling up . But I watered it like 2 months ago because the bottom leaves were turning yellow. So I cut back on watering
Hey, did you mix the soil medium that it is sitting in? If so could you share the mix ratio? I'm in a similar part of the country and having issues with mine from the roots up. Needs a repot. Think its getting root rot.
If you do accidentally forget to water it, and bring it back. If your stem withers/is no longer green, is there a chance you can bring it back and have it start to vine again?
Sooooo my kerrii has grown like crazy and I don't know what the hell to do with it! It branched out like crazy and the blooms were great but I seriously need a pro just to stake it up for me😩 Ideas?
Cute facial hair!
I am looking for one of these with more than one leaf! Seems impossible to find locally.
Same! At this point I'm almost ready to take the risk of one leaf.
@@woodanemone I did and it lasted a few months and turned yellow, then black and died. Now I am not totally sure if I over watered her or it had no node, but if I find one leaf for dirt cheap I'll get it again. Lol
I got really lucky and found a one leaf cutting that also was a top cutting so there was a stem… maybe keep your eye out for that? My plant is now 4 leaves and looks great!
@@TheEpicSong1 yeah I will do that.
My Kerrii grew a long vine , the leaves didn't develop on it. Does anybody know if a new leaf or vine will grow on that vine ? or should I cut it?
What does “very succulent” mean?
From my Hoya Kerrie is comming red liquid. Does anybody know,what it could be?
I would like to purchase one. I’m unable to locate a dealer…any ideas?
Omigod, its got stems. (Sarcasm).
They want more water and fertilizer than a true succulent
I bought one from a plant shop, and honestly think the lady didn’t know what she was talking about. She said it was a “zombie” plant because it doesn’t grow. Decided to look at the roots and wouldn’t you know it, it’s just a leaf with roots. 😒🤨
It’s such bull that they’d sell a single leaf cutting at all. I almost picked one up this weekend.. but $13 for a single leaf seemed like a stretch. I assumed there was a stem in the soil. I’d be irate to spend $13 on a leaf to watch it die 🤦🏼♀️
I think they live, just not make more leaves
The idea that a leaf of a vining plant would create roots, but never prduce a normal vine doesn't make sense.
