Heart-Shaped Succulents Do Exist, and We're in Love

Sep 4 2017 - 8:10am

As maybe the sweetest, most sentimental of all the succulents, the hoya kerrii [1] has won our hearts! Hailing from Southeast Asia, this heart-shaped succulent has a bloom so intricate and extravagant that it belongs on a wedding a cake [2]. Also, we love that hoya kerii is a low-maintenance plant [3]. The valentine hoya, as it's also known, likes warm humid conditions and doesn't like to be watered all that much, but appreciates at least a half a day of sun. Keep scrolling to learn more about this cutie and to see images of its fabulous bloom.

It's typically sold potted, one heart at a time.

Like this.

It can be variegated.

Or come with a racing stripe down the middle.

It's a climber.

Look at it go!

But it can dangle too.

It's similar to air plant, liking humid air more than an intense watering.

The blooms are as hardy and long-lasting.

And they look like they're made of fondant icing.

Awww . . . heart and bloom together.
