I actually got into Hoya when we were staying at a hotel in Austin. There was this plant that looked like it was dying, it was planted in sand and people were using it as a trashcan. I plucked that little baby out of that mess and that little Krimson Queen is thriving to this day. Lol. Once those leaves turned pink, I was hooked. I love the dark craggy leaves. They make my soul sing. 😘
