Planting and care

Avoid keeping in dark places. Wait until the soil has dried out a little and then water again. The soil should never be saturated or boggy as this will lead to rotting. Apply a feed twice a year at most and for an older plant or that single leaf is throwing out new shoots you can feed a little more. Young plants with only one leaf should start to be re-potted when there is new growth.

Hoya kerrii care

Start planting when the temperature is stable. Use a small pot for one leaf. Re-pot when a plant grows drastically. Take care of roots while planting. Keep a safe distance between two plants as they should not collide with each other. Avoid coco peat-based soil mix.

While, re-potting, use sandy soil, agricultural grit, and little organic material. Roots are so delicate and softly firmed in the soil. So, try to plant it well.
