hoya variegated krimson hanging basket

lso known as: Krimson Queen Wax Plant, Variegated Hoya, Tricolor Hoya

Native to the tropical rainforests of Eastern Asia and Australia, Hoya Krimson Queen is one of the most colorful and eye-catching members of the Hoya family. Its thick, waxy leaves feature a stunning combination of deep green centers edged with creamy white and soft pink — a three-tone variegation that looks almost painted by hand. New leaves emerge in a bright blush pink before slowly developing their green and white tones, making every new leaf a small event worth watching.

care

Place in a warm, bright spot with indirect light and keep away from cold drafts. Use a fast-draining potting mix and feed with a diluted balanced fertilizer every other watering during spring and summer.
