There is truly a plant for everything. With Valentine's Day on the horizon, along with the rush of chocolates and massages, there is likely the inevitable bouquet of roses with baby's breath. But here is a low maintenance alternative. The Sweetheart Plant or hoya kerrii.
- They are the easy fix for those who want to garden without the burden of long term care.
- They are the perfect way to bring some green and sunshine to a windowsill.
- They ask for very little. Even watering them is not usually an expectation.
So for something that is a bit special and not as a predictable, seek out one of these. They won't be in your typical box store (or maybe they would?), but any reputable garden center will have a rack of them if they are smart. They will start small as a single succulent paddle in the shape of a heart. Over time they will extend into a string of hearts, and if you are lucky a bizarre red/orange seed pod once every few seasons. Small and inexpensive, spruce it up by putting all the color and thought into a dandy pot to make it your personal gift. Thank you very much!
