Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’ brings soft contrast to a bright indoor shelf. Its thick, waxy oval leaves have green centers and cream outer margins, and fresh growth may emerge pink before maturing. Let the stems trail or guide them onto a support. With maturity and favorable light, the plant can produce clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers.

Points of interest and size

  • One live Hoya carnosa ‘Krimson Queen’ in a 6-inch nursery grow pot; current leaf markings, fullness and stem length vary.
  • Estimated mature indoor vine length: about 3–6 feet with time and suitable care; prune to keep it shorter.
  • Green-and-cream variegation differs from leaf to leaf, with pink tones possible on new growth.

Care guide

  • Light: Give bright indirect or filtered light to support variegation. Gentle morning sun can suit an acclimated plant; avoid harsh afternoon sun that may scorch pale margins.
  • Water: Let much of the mix dry between thorough waterings, then let excess drain fully. Avoid constantly wet roots and reduce watering in cooler or darker months.
  • Soil: Use a chunky, airy, fast-draining mix with fine bark and perlite in a pot with drainage holes. Ready to repot? Shop our Rich Houseplant Soil Blend, hand-blended in small batches and sold separately. For this Hoya, amend the blend with fine bark and perlite to keep it chunky, airy and fast-draining.
  • Humidity and temperature: Average household humidity is usually suitable; moderate humidity can help new growth. Keep warm and away from cold drafts.
  • Feeding: During active spring and summer growth, use a balanced slow-release houseplant fertilizer according to its label directions. Ready to feed? Shop our 2 oz Slow-Release Fertilizer for Houseplants & Succulents, sold separately. Reduce or pause feeding in winter, and skip feeding while growth is paused or during extreme heat or cold.
  • Pruning: Trim long vines just above a node to manage length, but leave short flower spurs intact because Hoya can rebloom from them. Guide vines to trail or climb.
  • Repotting: Check roots every 2–3 years. If crowded or the mix has broken down, move up one pot size in fresh airy mix.
  • Propagation: Root a healthy stem cutting containing at least one node in water or lightly moist airy mix in warm indirect light. Pot once roots have established.
