Most single-leaf Hoya kerrii plants are grown from a rooted leaf cutting without a stem node. These plants can remain healthy and attractive for many years but may not develop into a climbing vine. They are cherished for their distinctive heart-shaped leaf and make a unique, long-lasting decorative houseplant.
