Botanical name: Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’
Also known as: Variegated Wax Plant, Krimson Queen Hoya

Hoya ‘Krimson Queen’ is a beloved variegated trailing plant known for its creamy white and soft pink edged leaves. The thick, waxy foliage creates a bright, elegant contrast against green centers, making it a timeless favorite for both beginners and collectors. With enough light and patience, it rewards growers with clusters of fragrant, star shaped flowers. Easy going and long lived, this hoya adds charm to shelves, hanging planters, and sunny windows.

☀️ Light: Prefers bright indirect light. Can tolerate some gentle direct sun, which helps enhance pink variegation.

💧 Water: Allow soil to dry out between waterings. Hoyas prefer slightly drier conditions than most tropical plants.

🌫️ Humidity: Enjoys average to high humidity but adapts well to normal indoor environments.

📏 Size: Vines can trail several feet long over time with thick, succulent like leaves.

🐾 Pet-friendly?: ✔️ Pet friendly (non toxic).
Ingestion may still cause mild stomach upset.

🪴 Where It Looks Best: Perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, window ledges, or trellised displays where vines can cascade.

💡 Pro Tip: Do not cut flower spurs after blooming, as hoyas rebloom from the same spurs. Bright light encourages stronger variegation and flowering.
