Plant description
Cream and green variegated foliage, which has a fleshy texture, forms along the length of the lax stems of this beautiful climber.

The plant is sent out without any flowers, but it looks great popped into a decorative pot cover and placed on a shelf. Alternatively, you could repot it into a hanging basket and let the stems cascade.

How to care for Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen:
Throughout the summer you should always keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. In the colder months water less often, just giving it a good drink when the soil gets reasonably dry.

Maintain temperatures above 10°C in winter.
