Hoya 'Krimson Princess'

How to grow Hoya 'Krimson Princess' in NZ

Hoya 'Krimson Princess' grows well indoors in bright, indirect light and warm, sheltered conditions. Avoid direct sunlight, which can scorch its variegated leaves. Use a free-draining mix such as orchid bark, perlite, and indoor potting soil. Water when the top few centimetres of soil are dry, and reduce watering in winter. It prefers moderate humidity and benefits from regular misting. Feed monthly during spring and summer with a diluted liquid fertiliser, and keep the plant slightly root-bound to encourage flowering.
