If you love pink plants, then the Hoya 'Flamingo Dream' is a plant for you. This Hoya is a cultivar of the classic Hoya 'Krimson Queen' which became popular for its striking white variegation. This mutated version of that classic, boasts deeper pinks and reds on the new growth which stay brighter for longer, with less white on the leaves overall. The pinks don't stop there, as when it blooms, it produces clusters of pink, fuzzy flowers which smell like honey!

Although it's a slightly more flamboyant Hoya than the 'Krimson Queen' it originates from, the care is just as simple. The 'Flamingo Dream' enjoys bright light (with a couple hours of gentle direct if you can), a chunky soil mix and a generous watering once the soil is dry. If you want it to flower, feed regularly in the growing season and make sure it's receiving lots of light. 

Whether you want a trailer or a plant to climb a trellis, this Hoya will happily do either. And if you love colourful plants (pink plants more specifically!), then we urge you to try this one! A simple stunner. 

How to care for Hoya Carnosa 'Flamingo Dream'

  • Lighting: Bright, indirect light with some direct. East or West facing windowsills, or near a South.
  • Watering: Water once soil has dried.
  • Humidity: Thrives in humidity of 50% above, but can tolerate average household humidity.
  • Temperature: Ideal temperatures range between 18-26°C. Avoid temperatures of 12°C or below.
  • Soil Preference: To suit their epiphytic nature, Hoyas need a loose and chunky mix. We recommend the Anthurium & Orchid mix.
  • Good to Know: Although too much intense light can cause scorching, some hours of direct sun can cause sun stressing, which is not harmful to the plant, but causes the plant to produce deeper pinks and reds on the new leaves.
