Hoya Crimson Queen
Hoya “Crimson Queen”
The Hoya Crimson Queen is a timeless beauty — a queen by name and nature. Each thick, waxy leaf is framed with creamy-white or pink variegation that looks hand-painted, while new growth often flushes a delicate blush of pink before maturing into glossy green and ivory tones. When grown in bright light, the colors deepen, creating a living masterpiece that shifts with the seasons.
This hardy trailing Hoya brings elegance and structure to any space — perfect for shelves, hanging baskets, or climbing trellises.
Simple Care
• Light: Bright, indirect light; can handle some gentle morning or late-afternoon sun for stronger color.
• Water: Allow the soil to dry almost completely between waterings; overwatering is the only real enemy.
• Humidity: Thrives in average home humidity but loves a boost during growth spurts.
• Temperature: Warm and steady; keep away from cold drafts or extreme heat.
• Soil: Well-draining mix with perlite, orchid bark, or coco coir for airflow.
