hi everyone. been a while. i just got this krimson queen prop for free from a local nursery since it wasn’t looking too good. (feel free to correct my id if i’m wrong) i repotted it when we got home in a slightly looser mix (espoma all purpose potting soil) since it was in a soggy compost-heavy mix. it’s been on our porch (on the northeast side) for a week or so and i’m seeing signs of new growth (see pictures below). however i am concerned about the leaves— the only two remaining green leaves are yellowing and dying off. i’ll wait to see what color the new growth is but i worry i may have to trim off most of the leaves to encourage her to grow more green… does anyone know if lighting is a factor here? any tips to ensure her survival are appreciated!

    Welcome back, Plant Father! Your presence has been missed!😁 It’s a Hoya Carnosa Krimson Queen, the old trade name. But, that’s not politically correct I was told. They also call it Tricolor or Carnosa Outer Variegated. Leaf drop can happen especially in soggy soil. Add in the new environment and some level of stress is expected. It might drop leaves. But, Carnosas can revive from naked sticks if the roots are good. Just water when it dries and fertilize about every two weeks with 50% diluted liquid fertilizer. Full east or filtered south lighting is better. A grow light is an alternative. Good luck. 🪴🍀

      Wait, really?? Mine had "krimson queen" on the label! Oh no, now I'm gonna have to change its name in the app lol. Good to know about regrowing from a stick, though. My similarly sad prop is doing best in a Hoya potting medium in a mini greenhouse under a Barrina T5, with weak nutrients & occasional SuperThrive.

      Krimson Queen is a common trade name. But, many sellers still use it. It’s like the term Xerox copies. Commonly used even when the copier is not a Xerox brand.

    it seems to be recovering well, though the new leaves are all pink and white. i’ve attached photos from today and a few days ago. also discovered this side of the porch is actually facing east-southeast, i just moved here so wasn’t quite sure of the direction. i’m very happy to have an enclosed porch for the plants 😊

      It’s looks fine. This variety puts out white leaves very often. It will put out a new branch with green leaves when it’s ready. The lighting direction is good.
