The Hoya Carnosa, known as the ''wax plant'' or ''porcelain flower'', is a climbing plant. The variety 'Krimson Queen' is unique in the coloring of its foliage. Indeed, the leaves are variegated at the edge of a white and pink color. Occasionally the leaves are entirely white. Its magnificent flowering of between thirty and fifty small waxy star-shaped flowers is simply spectacular. The pale pink flowers gain luster in the evening. However, it rarely flowers before its 2 years. To promote its flowering, it is recommended to install it in a bright room and to reduce the frequency of repotting. She likes to be tight in her potty!
