A broad, asymmetric heart-leaf hoya cutting rises from a tiny lavender pot on a pale blue ground, painted in simple gouache shapes.

Finished editorial gouache illustration, 4:5 portrait. One hoya kerrii cutting: a single thick, oversized heart-shaped green leaf emerging directly from soil in a comically tiny, squat lavender ceramic pot. The leaf has two rounded lobes, a clear upper notch, and one lobe noticeably broader than the other; it leans gently left, with no vine, flowers or supporting stake. Slightly elevated three-quarter view. Place the pot toward the lower right, letting the broad leaf extend toward the middle; leave generous pale icy-blue space above and at upper left. Opaque blue-green gouache fills, one broad darker edge suggesting leaf thickness, loose dark marker-like contours, restrained brush texture. Soft light from upper left and one simple muted ground shadow. Quiet, playful, unmistakable silhouette at thumbnail size. No face, people, intricate veins, hatching, text, logos or watermarks.
