Light
medium to bright indirect

Why is my Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen wilting?
Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen drops leaves or develops blackened foliage when the compost stays waterlogged or when the plant is exposed to excessive winter cold, since the thick, succulent variegated leaves cannot sustain turgor under root suffocation or chill stress below 10 degrees C

Why is my Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen wilting?
Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen drops leaves or develops blackened foliage when the compost stays waterlogged or when the plant is exposed to excessive winter cold, since the thick, succulent variegated leaves cannot sustain turgor under root suffocation or chill stress below 10 degrees C
Cause
Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen drops leaves or develops blackened foliage when the compost stays waterlogged or when the plant is exposed to excessive winter cold, since the thick, succulent variegated leaves cannot sustain turgor under root suffocation or chill stress below 10 degrees C.
Solutions
- Check that the compost is not waterlogged and water more sparingly, then move the plant to a warmer spot if it has been exposed to excessive cold in winter.
- Trim any soft, dark roots back to firm tissue and repot into a free-draining mix before the droop progresses to crown and stem rot.
Prevention
Grow Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen in a free-draining mix, water only when the top 2-3 cm of compost has dried, keep the plant above 10 degrees C in winter away from cold draughts, and out of direct sun which can scorch the variegated leaves.

Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen: Bud Drop
Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen (the variegated form of Hoya carnosa, with creamy edges to its leaves) aborts its developing flower buds when the compost swings between too dry and too wet, or when the plant is moved or repotted while it is in bud, because the waxy, slow-growing vine abandons its perennial peduncles in response to that kind of disturbance

Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen: Bud Drop
Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen (the variegated form of Hoya carnosa, with creamy edges to its leaves) aborts its developing flower buds when the compost swings between too dry and too wet, or when the plant is moved or repotted while it is in bud, because the waxy, slow-growing vine abandons its perennial peduncles in response to that kind of disturbance
Cause
Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen (the variegated form of Hoya carnosa, with creamy edges to its leaves) aborts its developing flower buds when the compost swings between too dry and too wet, or when the plant is moved or repotted while it is in bud, because the waxy, slow-growing vine abandons its perennial peduncles in response to that kind of disturbance.
Solutions
- Avoid moving or repotting the plant while it is in bud or flower so the developing peduncles are not abandoned.
- Check the watering regime and keep it even while buds are forming, because the compost being too dry or too wet will abort them.
Prevention
Leave Hoya carnosa Krimson Queen in the same position once buds form and keep watering steady (top 2-3 cm of compost drying out between waterings in spring-autumn, almost dry in winter, fed monthly spring to late summer), so the perennial peduncles can carry the umbels through to open flower.
