6” Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess

The Hoya Carnosa Krimson Princess is a perennial epiphytic vine with semi-succulent characteristics. It has green leaves with variegation in the middle. The variegation can vary from white/cream to yellowish/pink depending upon the growing conditions. Native to Southeast Asia and Australia. Due to the fact that it is a epiphytes it receives most of their moisture and nutrients from the air around them and most of their energy from photosynthesis (where water and carbon dioxide, in the presence of sunlight, combine to form the glucose that is essential for their growth). When using a fertilizer, chose a liquid fertilizer. Light: To maintain variegation and to encourage blooms, place the plant where it will receive around 6 -12 hours of bright light per day. 2-3 feet away from a south facing window. Avoid direct sunlight as it will dry the plant and scorch the leaves. Temperature: 65-75 F and moderate humidity. Soil: Well-draining potting soil. Prefers to be pot bound.Repot every 2-3 yea
