Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' (Krimson Princess) D12

Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' (Krimson Princess) is the central-variegated selection: cream-yellow areas appear in the middle of the leaf, while the edges remain green. In this batch, the variegation is central: the middle area is cream or yellow, while the edges remain green. Some leaves may be almost entirely green. New shoots may emerge burgundy. The foliage is thick, glossy, and oval, while the vines can be allowed to trail or trained onto a support. The flowers are star-shaped, pink and white, and fragrant. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage and variegation. The variegation appears on the leaf blade, rather than as a silver splash pattern. The center may be cream, yellow, or pale green, while the green band along the edge remains visible. The color distribution varies from one leaf to another and from one vine to another. The batch is sold as a full pot containing 4–5 plants. Vine length varies depending on the specimen and season.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and waxy, grouped in umbels. The corolla ranges from pinkish white to pink, with a darker corona. They are fragrant; the scent and its intensity may vary. Flowering depends on the plant's maturity and growing conditions.

Identity. The accepted botanical name of the species is Hoya carnosa (L.f.) R.Br., a climbing epiphyte or lithophyte native from southern China to Laos and from southern Japan to Taiwan. The title combines two horticultural identities. The photograph of this batch follows the central-variegation pattern. The sale title is not corrected here.

Substrate: use an airy, well-drained mix suitable for epiphytic species. We recommend the professional substrate for Hoya and Anthurium - SG Mix.
