Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess

Botanical Name: Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess'
Common Name(s): Krimson Princess Hoya, Wax Plant

The Hoya Carnosa 'Krimson Princess' is a stunning climbing and trailing vine known for its thick, waxy leaves and fragrant flowers. This variety is particularly admired for its striking variegation, with leaves that are often a mix of green, creamy white, and pink, especially in the new growth. As the plant matures, the leaves can develop a pinkish-red hue around the edges, creating a beautiful contrast with the deep green centers. The Krimson Princess is a fast-growing and low-maintenance plant, making it a favorite for both novice and experienced plant lovers.

Native to Southeast Asia, the Krimson Princess thrives in bright, indirect light but can also tolerate lower light conditions, though its variegation may fade without enough light. In optimal conditions, it can grow long, trailing vines that can reach several feet in length, making it perfect for hanging baskets, shelves, or trellises. The plant's leaves are thick and waxy, which help it retain moisture, contributing to its drought-tolerant nature.

In late spring to early summer, the Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess may produce clusters of small, star-shaped flowers that are typically white with a pink or red center. The flowers are sweetly fragrant, adding another layer of appeal to this already beautiful plant. The blooms are often quite stunning, appearing in bunches that form a lovely, spherical shape.

To keep the Krimson Princess thriving, it’s best to allow the soil to dry out between waterings. Like other Hoyas, it’s susceptible to root rot if overwatered, so be sure to water it thoroughly but infrequently. Well-draining soil is crucial, and a cactus or succulent mix is often ideal for providing the proper drainage. If grown in a container, ensure the pot has drainage holes to allow excess water to escape.

Note: The Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess is non-toxic to pets, making it a safe addition to homes with curious animals. However, its waxy leaves and trailing vines can still be tempting for pets to chew on, so it’s a good idea to keep the plant out of reach of playful pets.

We encourage customers to choose carefully before placing an order. Our risk-free, 30-day customer guarantee covers cases where plants arrive damaged, dead, sick, or incorrect items were sent. We will send you a replacement plant or provide a refund.
