Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Princess’ - Variegated Wax Flower Vine
- tropical vine with fragrant wax-like flowers
- cream or pink centered dark green leaves, each leaf widely variable on the theme from all cream or pink to all green
- just a little bit of sun stress will give the leaves hints of red and purple
- an easy to grow species, even for new beginners
- round clusters of waxy star flowers are light pink with red centers
- flowers are sweetly fragrant, with notes of chocolate, vanilla, warm honey, and cherry
- a natural epiphyte, which means it natively grows in small nooks and crannies of trees and must be able to tolerate dry spells between rainstorms
- long leafless stems may root where they touch soil, or may set flowers
- avoid cutting off old flower stems, because they will flower again
- likes warm, humid, and moist conditions, but is also drought and low humidity tolerant
- needs a very well draining succulent soil mix to grow well
- hoyas tend to like being pot-bound
- vines indoors can grow to 4 feet long; best with a trellis or stake to climb
- great in hanging baskets
- for part or bright shade, but flowers best in high light; direct sun will burn the foliage
- grows in tropical zones 11-12; best kept above 50 degrees
- ships bareroot, wrapped in a soil-less medium to keep the roots damp
- ships in warm spring, fall, or summer seasons; not during winter
- images showing cultivar detail are generally of stock plant(s), not often representative of the sizes being offered
