# I just repotted her! I repotted my Krimson queen with a better soil…

_Posted by Miranda on 2026-07-21_

I just repotted her! I repotted my Krimson queen with a better soil that’s less water retentive than the nursery mix. I mixed orchid bark, coarse perlite, coco coir, a pinch of potting soil, and horticultural charcoal. I didn’t know what pot to put her in so I put her in a plastic one with air holes for now. How did I do? Do you think she will be happy with her new home? 😊 first time Hoya owner, all advice appreciated.

The pot is a good choice too. I've noticed my hoya LOVE these airy pots.
