Hoya Carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’

Plant Scientific Name:
Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’
Plant Common Name:
Hoya Krimson Queen / Variegated Wax Plant
Plant Description:
Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’ is a trailing, semi-succulent houseplant prized for its thick, waxy leaves with creamy white margins and soft pink new growth. Over time, it produces long vines and, under the right conditions, clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers. Its elegant variegation and low-maintenance nature make it a popular choice for shelves, hanging baskets, and trellises.
Water:
Allow the soil to dry out almost completely between waterings. Water thoroughly, then let excess drain away. Overwatering can lead to root rot.
Temperature & Humidity:
Prefers temperatures between 18–30°C. Enjoys moderate to high humidity but tolerates average household humidity well. Protect from cold drafts and temperatures below 10–12°C.
Pet Safety:
Non-toxic to pets. Safe for cats and dogs.
Pro Tip:
Bright indirect light encourages strong variegation and flowering. Avoid frequent repositioning once buds form, as Hoyas may drop flower buds if disturbed
