Hoya kerrii 'Albomarginata'

Hoya kerrii 'Albomarginata' is a variegated kerrii form with thick, heart-shaped leaves edged in creamy white. The firm, succulent foliage develops clear contrast between the green centre and pale margins, and stems climb or trail slowly as the plant matures. Flowers are cream to soft pink with deeper centres, produced in rounded clusters on established plants.

This variegated form prefers bright filtered light to keep the margins clear and defined. It grows slowly in warm, stable conditions with a lightly drying cycle and an airy, free-draining mix. Gentle, regular feeding during the warmer months supports gradual vine development while maintaining foliage quality.
