The Hoya Kerrii, also called Porcelain Flower, is a ravishing and minimalist plant part of the Apocynaceae, family native to Asia. As its cousin the Hoya carnosa, it is epiphyte in its natural habitat.

The Hoya Kerrii gets its name from Arthur Francis George Kerr, a British doctor. The plant’s thick green leave, heart shaped, makes it a unique specimen and much sought for which will make your heart melt, literally and metaphorically!

MAINTENANCE

The Hoya Kerrii thrives on humidity and heat, especially during summer months. Make sure it benefits from good luminosity, even direct sun. As for watering, give it a drink when its soil dries up at the first third of the pot. You will notice that it needs to be watered when the leaf shrivels a little…

When you take possession of your plant, make sure you assess its watering needs. Before you give it a drink the first time, check the soil’s moisture level to verify whether or not it is moist near the surface. It is best to aerate the soil before the initial watering since it is often compacted to avoid shifting during transit. This also allows it to breathe and release moisture.

Rotate your plant periodically in order to encourage an even growth. Cleaning the leaves regularly will stimulate proper photosynthesis. As you wipe the foliage, inspect the leaves on either side to make sure there are no pests.
