Hoya kerrii 'Reverse Variegata'

Hoya kerrii 'Reverse Variegata' is a heart-leafed kerrii form with creamy to soft yellow variegation concentrated toward the leaf centre and green margins. The leaves are thick and succulent-like, forming slow, steady vines once established. Flowers are soft cream to pink with deeper centres, carried in rounded clusters.

The plant grows best in bright filtered light, which helps maintain clear variegation. Its thick leaves prefer a lightly drying cycle and warm, stable conditions. An airy mix and gentle feeding during the warmer months support gradual growth.
