Hi everyone, it’s Marianne, and welcome to My Wasteless Life. Come along on my plant journey as I share with you my beginner’s guide on houseplants and tips for sustainable lifestyle.

On this video, I am responding to a #planttag from @Plant_Mama : The Best Plant that Represent Me. As you can read from the title, I chose the Hoya Carnosa Tricolor Krimson Queen. I know you probably expected me to pick a pothos, but I wanted to mix it up a little bit and chose another plant from my collection. I talk about why I picked this plant and also share my care tips at the same time.

The#HoyaCarnosaTricolor #KrimsonQueen is one of my favorite plants that I own and was on top of my wishlist before I got it. It's a great hoya for beginners, it's thick and hardy leaves also gives it the name wax plant, and the care for the plant is very much similar to succulents when it comes to light and water.

Because my plant is in an 8" pot, I do water it every 3 to 4 weeks and give it bright indirect light. While the white leaves don't last as long as the pink leaves, it last longer compared to white leaves in other variegated plants. The pink leaves also comes out as a very vibrant dark pink and fades into a soft baby pink.

Hoyas in general do not like to be repotted often, so I haven't repotted mine since I bought it. But if yours requires repotting, hoyas are epiphytic plants (plants that attach their roots to trees, like orchids), as such they prefer a well aerated and well draining soil that's heavy of perlite/pumice/verimiculite and orchid bark.

Hoyas need to be mature before it starts to flower, at least three old. Putting the plant under stress - aka watering it less infrequently - will also help encourage flower growth.
