Hoya Krimson Princess (Collection 3) 13cm hanging pot E

The Hoya Krimson Princess, a popular cultivar of Hoya carnosa, is adored for its stunning variegated leaves. Each waxy, succulent-like leaf is characterised by creamy white or pink centres framed by rich green margins, creating a striking visual appeal. This vibrant display is complemented by clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that bloom under ideal conditions.

Native to Southeast Asia, this low-maintenance plant thrives in bright, indirect light, which helps maintain its variegation and encourages flowering. While it can tolerate moderate light, insufficient light may cause the vibrant colors to fade. Protect it from prolonged direct sunlight to avoid leaf burn.

The Krimson Princess prefers a well-draining soil mix, such as one designed for succulents or Hoyas, and benefits from being watered only when the topsoil has dried out. Its leaves store water, so overwatering should be avoided to prevent root rot. During the active growing season in spring and summer, feeding with a diluted, balanced liquid fertiliser every 4–6 weeks supports growth and blooms. Feeding can be reduced or halted during the plant's dormant period in winter.

With its striking foliage, fragrant flowers, and easy-care nature, the Hoya Krimson Princess is a beautiful and rewarding addition to any indoor plant collection, bringing a touch of elegance and charm to your space.
