Know before you buy
This plant requires bright, indirect light to keep its signature pink and cream variegation vibrant. If the light is too low, the new growth may revert to solid green.
Yes, the 'Krimson Princess' is considered a low-maintenance houseplant. It is relatively forgiving and thrives as long as it is not overwatered and receives adequate light.
Absolutely. Because of its vining growth habit, you can easily train it to climb a trellis or stake. Alternatively, it works beautifully in a hanging basket where its vines can cascade naturally.
Allow the top inch or two of soil to dry out completely between waterings. Hoyas prefer to dry out slightly rather than sit in soggy soil, which can lead to root rot.
Yes, all Hoya Carnosa 'Krimson Princess' specimens are sold as established plants. They are ready for immediate display in your home upon arrival.
