Hoya Carnosa Tricolour Bambino
$11.99
2.5” Pot
The Hoya carnosa 'Tricolor' (also known as Krimson Princess) produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped flowers that appear waxy or porcelain-like, typically in shades of pink, white, or light cream. These dainty blooms, often appearing from spring to summer, are heavily scented and grow in umbels, providing a striking contrast to the pink, white, and green variegated leaves.
- Flower Description: The flowers are star-shaped, small (about 1.5-2 cm diameter), and often have a fuzzy sheen due to tiny hairs.
- Blooming Habit: They bloom in clusters (umbels) of 10 to 50 flowers on the same perennial spur (peduncle) every year, so these spurs should not be removed.
- Scent: The flowers are known to have a strong, sweet fragrance, often more noticeable at night.
- Coloration: Typically pale pink, white, or cream, sometimes with a deeper pink center.
- Care for Blooms: To encourage flowering, provide bright, indirect light, 65-80°F temperatures, and consistent fertilization during the growing season.
These plants are often considered part of the "wax plant" group and are popular for their trailing, colorful foliage and rewarding blooms.
