Hello! picked up this unlabeled 2in pot (for $3!). I’m pretty new to plant stuff. I believe it is a hoya, possibly a krimson princess? Would someone be able to confirm/point me in the correct direction?

It looks like a krimson princess hoya to me

It’s a Hoya Australis Lisa. That’s a good price. New leaves on this variety of hoya is a dark red color in bright light. You should keep it in bright indirect light to bring out the colors.

Fertilize with 50% diluted liquid fertilizer every two weeks in warm months. That will deepen the colors. 🍀🪴

Hoya Krimson Princess has new leaves that are pale pink with dark pink stems on the variegated vines.

You’re welcome. I forgot to add that I use SuperThrive liquid plant vitamins to the water when I fertilize. It seems happy with it.

I don’t do much with this hoya Australis Lisa. It’s happy as long as I let the soil completely dry out before watering. I added a moisture stick that with felt inside that turns completely white when it needs water. Search for “Sustee Aquameter, Set of 5, Plant Soil Moisture Sensor” on Amazon
