Hoya kerrii new moon

A charming and distinctive cultivar of the beloved Sweetheart Hoya, 'New Moon' is prized for its iconic heart-shaped, thick succulent-like leaves adorned with a soft silvery-white central variegation that gives each leaf a luminous, moonlit appearance. A slow-growing but long-lived plant that makes a memorable gift and a delightful addition to any succulent or Hoya collection.

• Light: Bright, indirect light; tolerates some morning direct sun. Adequate light enhances the silver variegation and encourages flowering. Avoid harsh midday sun.
• Temperature: Intermediate to warm growing. 65–82°F (18–28°C); protect from temperatures below 55°F (13°C).
• Humidity: 50–70%; adaptable to average household humidity.
• Watering: Allow the substrate to dry out completely between waterings; the thick, succulent leaves store moisture and the plant is highly susceptible to root rot if overwatered. Reduce frequency significantly in winter.

Additional Notes:

Foliage is thick, fleshy, and heart-shaped with a soft silver central splash on each leaf. Do not remove spent peduncles, as new blooms emerge from the same spurs each season. Grow in a very well-draining mix (perlite, coarse sand, and a small amount of potting mix). Fertilize lightly every 6–8 weeks during the growing season. Note: single-leaf cuttings will not develop into full vining plants.
