Hoya Krimson Queen Care

Krimson Queen does not like overwatering, so wait until the soil is completely dry. Then water the plant until the water begins to flow through the drainage holes. In winter, Hoya carnosa should be watered rarely.

This plant does not require special pruning, but you can remove dead leaves or give the plant the desired shape.

To encourage growth, use a higher nitrogen fertilizer, but if you want to prepare your plant for flowering, take a fertilizer with a higher phosphorus content. Choose a liquid fertilizer and use ¼ of the recommended dose.

Krimson Queen grows best in bright, indirect sunlight. The ideal option is if the plant will receive at least 6 hours of light every day, but it can withstand average light, but the leaves will be weaker.

The main criterion when choosing soil is good drainage properties since the mixture should not retain water. As for the rest, choose a well-balanced soil rich in nutrients.

You can quickly propagate your Hoya carnosa with stem cuttings. To do this, cut off a branch with several nodes of leaves and place it in a container with clean water. After a few weeks, roots will appear.

This plant likes heat, so it grows well in temperatures of 60-90ºF (16-32ºC). You should also take care that it does not stand in places where there are drafts.

We can identify this plant as a perennial epiphytic vine, so you can grow it in hanging or regular pots. The material does not matter, but you should take care of the drainage holes.

This plant doesn’t like to relocate, so avoid moving its pot.
