Hoya Krimson Queen is a cultivar of Hoya carnosa, the wax plant. Each thick, waxy leaf has a cream edge, and new growth flushes pink. You get one plant in a 6 inch nursery pot.
It grows slowly and stores water in its leaves, so it forgives a missed watering better than an overwatered one. Let it climb a small trellis or trail from a shelf.
- Light: bright, indirect light
How often should I water a Hoya Krimson Queen?
Water deeply, then let the soil dry almost completely. The thick leaves store water, so overwatering is a bigger risk than a missed drink.
Will a Hoya Krimson Queen flower?
Mature plants in bright light can make clusters of small, star-shaped flowers. Young plants usually need time first.
