Beautiful!😻 It’s also called a Hoya Krimson Princess. They are prolific growers and low maintenance plants.

It’s one of the main reasons I got one ahah, heard they’re easy to look after

Put it in chunky well draining potting mix. Their roots in the wild gets lots of air. So, standard potting soil holds too much water and leads to root rot. A mix of coco coir, perlite, chunky orchid bark and a little worm castings makes a good mix. 🍀🪴
