Hoya Krinkle 8, also known as Hoya carnosa 'Krinkle 8', is a specific cultivar of the Hoya carnosa species, and it is cherished for its distinctive, crinkled or twisted leaves. Here's a description of Hoya Krinkle 8:
Foliage: The defining feature of Hoya Krinkle 8 is its crinkled or twisted leaves. The leaves are typically dark green and have a unique, contorted texture, giving the plant a visually interesting and textured appearance.
Growth Habit: Like other Hoya carnosa varieties, Krinkle 8 is a climbing or trailing vine. It can be grown as a hanging plant or trained to climb on a support. The stems are long, and the plant can develop a lush, cascading growth habit.
Flowers: Similar to other Hoya carnosa varieties, Krinkle 8 produces clusters of star-shaped flowers. The flowers are often waxy and may have a sweet fragrance. The color of the flowers can vary and may include shades of white, pink, or red.

Watering: Allow the top inch of the soil to dry out before watering. Like other Hoyas, Krinkle 8 prefers a well-draining potting mix, and overwatering should be avoided.
Temperature and Humidity: It prefers warm temperatures and appreciates higher humidity levels. However, it can adapt to average room humidity. Avoid exposing it to temperatures below 50°F (10°C).
Care Tips: Regular pruning can help maintain its shape and encourage bushier growth. Fertilize during the growing season (spring and summer) with a balanced liquid fertilizer.
