The Hoya Carnosa Exotic Tricolor, also known as Krimson Princess, is a stunning variety of the classic Wax Plant.

Light Needs: The Krimson Princess thrives in bright, indirect light. Place it near a window with filtered sunlight or in a spot with bright, indirect light indoors. It can tolerate some morning sun but avoid intense afternoon sun, which can scorch its leaves.
Water Needs: Water your Krimson Princess when the top inch of the soil feels dry. Allow excess water to drain away and avoid letting the plant sit in water, as this can lead to root rot. During winter months, reduce watering frequency slightly as the plant's growth slows.
Humidity Needs: Maintain moderate to high humidity levels around the Hoya Carnosa Exotic Tricolor. This can be achieved by misting the leaves regularly or placing the plant on a tray filled with pebbles and water. Avoid placing it near drafts or heating vents that can dry out the air.
