Hoya 'Sweetheart Variegated' - Heartthrob Houseplant: Dainty, Hardy, Heart-Shaped Joy

With its eye-catching heart-shaped, variegated leaves, this plant doesn't just grow on you—it steals your heart. Hailing from the tropical realms of Asia, this non-blooming beauty sports thick, waxy, green leaves with a charming splash of yellow. It's a slow grower but robust—just like any good romance should be.
