Same! Why would they even do this to us...

I bought one of these single leaf cuttings from a charity shop for £1 that the lady had rooted herself from her own plant. 9 months on I have 14 leaves and it’s 16 inches tall!! So DONT be put off by someone else’s lack of success. This is the second one I’ve had, first one I had from Ikea and that grew nicely too so I gave it to my sister.

I bought two single leaf plants 5-6 years ago, maybe longer, and they have remained the same, no growth, no flowers, until two weeks ago when I hadn’t watered them for a while and one seemed papery so I put them both in water for a while then let them drain, now, one of them has grown another leaf😃. I was going to remove it and pot it as I thought that was how they were meant to be but thought I’d look online first, thank goodness I did. Repotting is all that is going to happen now for both plants 💚💚

Most of them one leaf cuttings come from the nursery with some 'cloth thingy' around the base of the leaf...around the roots. In my experience its worth taking the leaf out of the soil washing and removing the cloth and then repoting in perlite or sucullant soil. Good luck everyone!

Thats just so sad, I would be broken hearted if someone gave that to me and it died :( I'm surprised they didn't spray it red and cover it in glitter with a little red hat! Oops I've just given them a new idea LOL Hope you find a proper Hoya kerrii for your collection Lyn, thanks for putting out the info I didn't know about this one ... Plant Power!!! :)

I have never seen these, but I am now forewarned. Thank you. Greetings from Arizona, USA, love your videos.

Thank you, Lyn, my husband was going to get one of this at Sainsbury's last week and I said wait for Valentine's day.

Thanks for posting this. I'm an amateur indoor gardener in NYC & grow multiple Hoyas, including H kerrii, the Heart-shaped Hoya leaf. We see this scam from time to time as well. A number of yrs. ago, I persuaded my own local supermarket (in Brooklyn) to quit selling these, maybe 8-10 yrs. ago, for $12 a pop, not a cheap loss. They probably had 6 or 8 for sale when I stopped them.

Totally agree with you Lyn, all plant lovers should avoid plant exploitations such as this unrooted leaves, or dyed, glittered, snow covered plants, just for the fun of holidays and other symbolic days. Plants are real, living organisms, and should be treated with respect. They give us so much. If only people who sell plants could stop coming up with these horrid and kitch ideas. We should boycott all of these.

Hi Lyn, I had this plant from Ikea, ant it sadly died after a year or so without any growth signs but it had roots. Once I took it out of pot I found out that its base (roots) were inserted in to an incredibly hard coconut fiber plug and I think that that was the main reason of the plant not being able to grow normally. So i’d suggest you to check your plant, whether it has the same hard plug around it. Anyway, goodluck and happy growing! :]

I think nurseries have changed to coconut husk fiber to make sure people can't over water them as easy. Hoya like being drenched and then dried out, they fare better in smaller pots that dry out faster. as they don't have huge root balls I hear most don't rely on roots when established. Also I just watched a video that says it's because if you do not have stem or petiole attached it's won't start any vine. The rooting hormone just roots the leaf and not the stem.

There are lots of Hoya care videos on KZread. They don'e need too much water and not too much sun. I grow lots from cuttings because my old ones sometimes die back in our climate. My suggestion would be to keep the heart for as long as possible and then lay it on its side and keep fairly dry. It should grow. If it takes off put it in a hanging basket grow in succulent and cactus potting mix. I'm going to buy a heart now and see what happens!!!

I’d love to have an update too! :)

We had them where I work at Safeway, I stayed away from buying it. They were in a Christmas stalking ( cute but not my style ) after there only being a Few left I ended up getting it for a dollar. So wishing you luck as you wish me luck with it ;) I really want to full version of it now :)

Good luck with growing them Lynn

thankyou for that one ,will avoid.x

I read a post on Facebook that if the roots have a stem with a node it will shoot new babies, if not then I guess you have only one leaf for as long as you give it the proper care. I bought a variegated one 2 months ago and I'm about to dig it up to see if I have anything other than roots😅

Hi jeanette :-D yes this is true, if you have a node on the end of the leaf with a short stem and a node then your heart Hoya will eventually shoot new growth but it can take a year or two and sometimes longer, but fingers crossed you will get it to shoot new growth over time

Hi Tumika

My local flower shop was selling these around Valentine Day for something like $17!! I refused to shell out that kind of cash. Needless to say they didn't go. So i waited for them to be marked down, which they did. Eventually after about two months they had one left, sadly neglected and sitting there for about $4. I told the clerk I'd take it and try to save it if they'd sell if for a buck. I *think* it's gotten slightly bigger. It's definitely perked up, anyway. We'll see what happens. I can't believe they try to sell these things to desperate men for such a gouge.

haha I know Wendy they will sell these pants at high prices to make money but I bet you will save your Hoya heart cutting :-D and at 4 dollers that is good

Oh my! I just bought one from Kroger this morning! lol. When I got home realized the whole top layer was glued rocks around it. Took it out of little pot and got all that off and repotted. I will baby it and see what happens

I know its so awful and worse if you get them from a loved one and the plant dies of a broken heart, these plant gimmicks are awful and just a way for the big nurseries to make big bucks for Valentines, its a shame they dont sell the plant with the stem as it would live longterm :-( thanks so much for you wonderful comment and for watching and sending you an abundance of love and happiness and PLANT POWER from across the Emerald Isle XXXX

what a shame, thanks for the warning. It is good to know. Also beautiful thought at the end of the video:-)

i bought one of these today from Asda got it home took it out of it's pot put it in water to soften the what ever they use to pot them up carefully toot it all off it had plenty of roots growing then repot it in some better mix seemed to have good root system so i think it might survive fingers crossed

So it's like a fiddle leaf fig leaf cutting. It will root but it does not have any stem cells to push out a stem. Thanks for warning us I was just getting ready to buy one!

I bought one a few days ago it had been reduced , it was over waterd and looking a bit sad, luckily the water hadn't stagnated, as is often the case plants that have been sitting in a shop for two long ! I took it out of its pot and wrapped the root ball in kitchen towel several times to absorb the access water then l potted it in a good quality cutting compost , whish me luck

Nice plants mam

Love this video and that you in fact stick a hole in the false ballon... LOVE you Darling! XXXXXXX

I was given a hoya kerii by my aunt and it is also just a single leaf plant. Hmm...guess i gotta take care of it thoroughly. Typically the plants that needs an indirect light are normally putted in a shade of my guava tree. And only water them if they are dry and mist them a bit. I also dont mind if they dont become full grown plants as long as they are well taken care of.

Thats wonderful you have bought one of these Hoya kerri leaves, its very possible that yours will live and grow, the good news is the one I bought survived and has now grown into a wonderful plant, it sat still for two years and then started to grow new shoots and leaves, thanks so much for your wonderful comment and for watching, and sending you lots of love and happiness and PLANT POWER for a wonderful Wednesday today XXXX

They usually stay in pot for ages and never grow. They're really cheap but it's waste of money. If you want to have Hoya kerii, just pay much more and buy one properly propagated.

Just found this video because my hoya kerri is looking sick. This helped me to know its not me. thanks

Hi Lyn, just to confirm, my hoya leaf from last Valentines day (from a florist my hubby bought) is still looking the same, somewhat yellower, I am wondering how long it will hang on :D

At the greenhouse I work at we use hormidin rooting horemne for all cuttings expte for succulent cuttings 😃
