Hoya Krinkle

Hoya Krinkle is a unique variety of Hoya Carnosa, known for its thick, waxy leaves with deep indentations that create a "krinkled" appearance. This low-maintenance vining plant is perfect for hanging baskets and can produce fragrant, star-shaped flowers with proper care.

Light

• Bright, indirect light.

• Prefers filtered sunlight from an east- or west-facing window.

• Too little light may slow growth and reduce blooming, while too much direct sun can scorch leaves.

Watering

• Allow the top 1–2 inches of soil to dry before watering.

• Water thoroughly, ensuring excess drains out—avoid soggy soil.

• Reduce watering during fall and winter.

Temperature

• Ideal temperature: 65–80°F.

• Cannot tolerate temperatures below 50°F.

• Keep away from cold drafts and sudden temperature changes.

Humidity

• Prefers moderate to high humidity (40-60%).

• Benefits from occasional misting or a humidity tray in dry environments.

Fertilizing

• Feed regularly during the growing season (spring–summer).

• Use a balanced liquid fertilizer (10-10-10 or 20-20-20) every 4 weeks.

• Reduce feeding in fall and winter.

Pruning & Maintenance

• Prune to shape and remove leggy growth.

• Do not remove flower spurs (peduncles)—they rebloom.

• Wipe leaves occasionally to remove dust buildup.
