Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess Live Plant 5 Inch - Variegated Tricolor Wax Plant

Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess' is a beloved variegated wax plant prized for its striking tricolor foliage. Each leaf displays a creamy white or pink center edged in deep green, creating a bright, eye-catching display that stands out in any houseplant collection. This cultivar is a sport of the classic Hoya carnosa and shares its easygoing, vining nature.

Krimson Princess grows as a trailing vine, making it an excellent choice for hanging baskets, shelves, or a small trellis where its colorful foliage can cascade. In time, mature plants may produce clusters of star-shaped, lightly fragrant flowers. Its compact habit and ornamental leaves make it a favorite among indoor gardeners and collectors of tropical houseplants.

Planting & Care

Transplant your Hoya into a well-draining potting mix, such as one amended with perlite or orchid bark, and choose a container with drainage holes. Place it in a spot with bright, indirect light to help maintain strong variegation. Water when the top portion of the soil feels dry, and reduce watering during cooler months.

Hoyas prefer to be slightly root-bound and generally do not need frequent repotting. Provide a small trellis or allow the vines to trail naturally. Avoid moving the plant once flower spurs form, as these can rebloom in future seasons. Keep humidity moderate to high for best results.
