It depends on if your heart had a node! Most times when you purchase a singular heart shaped leaf in a pot, it will not grow unfortunately. Luckily they’re somewhat common and can find a decent priced plant if you ever want one! ☺️
Hoya Kerrii is a Hoya that needs a lot of light to grow well. Mine are in a south-east facing window and grow mainly in late spring and summer, they bloom in summer too! (I don’t know what your old plant looks like, but the single hearts don’t grow if they have no part of the main stem). If a Hoya doesn’t grow for a long time theres something going on… either something wrong with the roots (if they don’t get enough water the roots dry out and the plant has to make new roots before it can grow). It can also be not (long or bright) enough light, cool temperatures etcetc A lot of people seem to have flatmites, if you suspect you have those, it would be a good idea to treat plant and the ones around it I heard you say “more drawn to Hoyas because of draught issues”. Hoyas are mainly from South-East Asia where it is very humid and they get rained on a lot. So some of them will not grow (well) in low humidity conditions. A lot of them can adapt though 🌸
This was so helpful! Thank you so much! 🙌 My old plant is a full stem, just hasn't put out new growth in so long. I think it has a deeper issue so I'm distancing it from the other plants! It was in a cabinet and stayed moist regularly, but maybe it was too wet for its liking. We'll see how this new one goes - so far so good!
Don’t hang it, give it a sturdy trellis like wooden arch. Maybe 2 of them and criss cross it, you can maybe vine them around it loosely so the woody stems don’t break. The old kerrii you can sulphur treat for flat mites or put it far away from this large babe so it doesn’t get mites just incase the other one has it.
You read my mind!! I bought 2 wooden arches to criss cross 🤗 Thank you for the tips!! Yeah I could definitely seeing it having mites. Not growing for 4 years is suspicious. I will definitely move the old one somewhere so it's not near my other hoyas just in case!
You are giving so Midwest I love it.
Haha thank you!! 😄
I have just a heart. I didn't realize that wasn't a plant that would grow.
