Hoya Carnosa 'Krimson Queen' Albo Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen'
A popular variegated cultivar of Hoya carnosa — the classic Wax Plant, native to East Asia and Australia — distinguished by creamy white to pink margins surrounding a green leaf center, with new growth often emerging in pink and cream tones. A vigorous trailing and climbing epiphyte well suited to hanging baskets or a trellis, producing clusters of star-shaped, sweetly fragrant flowers when mature. One of the more forgiving Hoyas. Never remove the peduncles after flowering — new blooms develop from the same spurs.
-
Light: Bright indirect light is important for maintaining the variegation and pink coloration; some gentle morning sun is tolerated. Avoid harsh direct sun, and low light which fades the variegation and slows growth.
-
Soil: Very well-draining epiphytic mix of orchid bark and perlite; Hoya resents dense, clogged soil. Excellent drainage essential.
-
Temperature/Humidity: Warm temperatures between 60-80°F, never below 50°F; tolerates average household humidity well thanks to its thick waxy leaves, though moderate humidity supports the best growth.
-
Watering: Allow the soil to dry out between waterings, then water thoroughly — more susceptible to overwatering than underwatering. The waxy leaves store water well; never let it sit in standing water.
-
Fertilizer: Feed with a balanced liquid fertilizer diluted to half strength every 4-6 weeks during active growth; a higher-phosphorus formula supports blooming. Reduce in winter.

Plant arrived healthy, well packaged and within a week after purchasing. It’s much smaller in size than expected with no pink leaves. There are some new branches coming out of it though which is pretty exciting!
She is perfect. I can’t for the blooms
Great plant. Well developed. Did not come with any pink, but I have been assured this will appear in time with bright light.
This Hoya is such a nice size and very healthy.
This Hoya is soooo beautiful and full!! I was a little nervous when opening it because the plants felt cold but they’re in excellent condition and no damaged leaves whatsoever. Packaging was great. Will be back for sure!
Ítem arrived as described. Even though it is winter here in CT, but the plant was well packed w/o a heat pack that the cold weather didn’t impact it, look as if I just brought it from a local nursery. I would highly recommend this seller to anyone.
The plant is gorgeous! If I can give it 10 stars, I would've. This is going to be a lovely addition to my collection.
Beautiful plant!! She arrived well! 🌿🪩
The plant is absolutely stunning!
Fast shipping. The plant was packed so well and is absolutely beautiful. Love it!
Healthy plant, wrapped with care. But I don't recommend the 4 inch long. Looks a bit droopy with the distance between leaves and the lack of color pink. The seller said it was kept in rather low light. Hope it comes back tricolor someday soon

Packaging was thoughtful and secure, ensuring they were protected during transit. Shipping was right on time, and I really appreciated the detailed care instructions included. They also have one of the best selections of plants I’ve seen, making it hard to choose just a few! Highly recommend — truly deserve a 5-star rating.
I am very happy with this plant purchase! It arrived in great shape and is a beautiful plant in good soil, not just a cutting in moss, like I’ve experienced with some other places. I will be a returning customer, for sure!
