The marginal variegation is genuine, not splash variegation, and may vary from one leaf to another. It has a climbing, vining growth habit. Under good growing conditions, it produces umbels of waxy, cream-pink flowers with a reddish-purple center, fragrant mainly at night and rich in nectar.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage and growth.\u003c\/strong\u003e The leaves are simple, opposite, thick and fleshy, with a distinctive cordate shape. The green center is framed by cream-white to cream-yellow margins; the width of the light-colored band is not identical on every leaf blade. The stems are long and climbing; some sections of the vine may temporarily remain leafless before continuing to grow.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoya kerrii is known as a “cactus hoya” — it does well with infrequent watering and medium to low atmospheric humidity and is easy to bring into bloom.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlowers and fragrance.\u003c\/strong\u003e The small, waxy flowers appear in umbels and range in color from cream to pale pink, with a pink-purple or dark red center.

Flowering depends on the maturity of the plant and growing conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIdentity.\u003c\/strong\u003e The accepted botanical name of the species is \u003cem\u003eHoya kerrii\u003c\/em\u003e Craib, published in 1911. The name honors Arthur Francis George Kerr. Native range: Cambodia, Java, Laos, Malaya, Thailand, and Vietnam.
