Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' (splash)

Hoya carnosa 'Krimson Queen' (splash) retains two distinct patterns in its name. Queen is the commercial name for marginal variegation: the center of the leaf remains green, while the margin is cream, white, or pink. Splash is the silver speckling on the green leaf blade, not white-cream tissue. Product photos show both patterns on the same leaves. The growth habit is climbing or trailing. Under good growing conditions, pink, star-shaped umbels appear, with a darker corona and a sweet fragrance. Flowering depends on the plant’s maturity and growing conditions.

Foliage, variegation, and splash. Queen variegation is marginal. Splash is the silver pattern on the leaves. The width of the cream band, the presence of pink on new shoots, the silver speckles, and the proportion of nearly white leaves vary from one vine to another. The level of variegation and splash is not identical in every specimen. Photos are for information purposes only.

Flowers and fragrance. The flowers are star-shaped and grouped in umbels. The corolla is pink, with a darker ring toward the center; the corona ranges from pink to burgundy. The fragrance is sweet. The shade and intensity of the fragrance 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. The species is a climbing epiphyte or lithophyte, native from southern China to Laos and from southern Japan to Taiwan. This batch combines marginal variegation with splash. The SKU is separate from the D6 and D9 batches and from full pots.

The decorative pot is not included in the price.

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