Notes
'Krimson Princess' wax plant (Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Princess') is a houseplant for containers, specimen display, and low maintenance care. It grows outdoors year-round in USDA zone 10 and warmer, down to about 30°F (-1°C). In colder areas, grow it as a houseplant or bring it indoors for winter. This plant likes part sun, average moisture, and sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It is a fragrant, evergreen climber with a rapid growth rate. It is also drought tolerant, so it forgives a missed watering.
Pairs well with Pearls and Jade pothos, Natal lily, and Weeping fig.
