How to Care for hoya carnosa krimson queen and Hoya 'Krimson Princess'

If you're a fan of lush indoor foliage, hoya carnosa krimson queen and Hoya 'Krimson Princess' are must-haves. These Hoyas thrive in bright, indirect light and tolerate lower light, making them perfect for Kiwi homes. Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, as overwatering is the most common pitfall. Use a well-draining potting mix, such as one designed for epiphytes or adding perlite to standard mixes. Feed monthly with a weak liquid fertiliser during spring and summer for optimum growth and vibrant foliage.

Building a collection? Pair your hoya carnosa krimson queen or Hoya 'Krimson Princess' with other striking Hoyas, such as Hoya pubicalyx 'Splash', which dazzles with silver-flecked foliage, or Hoya pubicalyx 'Red Button', renowned for its clusters of dark blooms. Hoya pubicalyx 'Royal Hawaiian Purple' offers wine-purple flowers and robust growth, while Hoya 'Teddy Bear' is a favourite among collectors for its unique, fuzzy leaves. Don't miss out on the timeless Hoya carnosa if you’re new to this group—its trailing habit and easy growth are hard to beat.

Styling Tips and Companion Houseplants
