Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen'

Description:

These beautiful Hoyas are a sport of the Hoya Carnosa f. variegata family.  They sport bold white on the edges of the leaves and the flowers that come with this family are incredibly sweet in fragrance. Its thick succulent foliage has dark blue green centers edged in pink or white. New leaves are often a very bright pink and some leaves can be entirely white. Blooms in small round clusters consisting of up to 30 waxy flowers that are white to pink with red centers. Flowers are very fragrant and smell like chocolate, vanilla and honey. Hoya carnosa are tolerant of light frost, but are happiest when kept above 40F.

~Do Not let Hoya sit in excess water. As epiphytes, in the wild they would be growing on tree trunks or branches in the forest understory where they would get most of their water just from dew or moisture in the air.

~Hoya are considerably hardy & tolerant of a wide range of growing conditions, but for the best growth it is recommended to provide higher levels of humidity.

~Do Not remove the peduncles [flower stalks] after your Hoya has finished flowering. Hoya are able to rebloom again & again from the same peduncle!

~Feed regularly during the growing season with a low nitrogen fertilizer containing sufficient amounts of phosphorous and potassium.
