Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ – Bold Veins, Rare Beauty 🖤🌿

Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ is a rare and dramatic variety of Hoya, prized for its thick, deeply textured green leaves marked with dark, almost black veining. The stunning foliage alone makes it a showpiece, and when mature, it produces clusters of fragrant, star-shaped blooms. A must-have for any serious Hoya or foliage collector.

Key Features:

✔ Distinctive dark-veined foliage with a bold, graphic look

✔ Thick, leathery leaves – highly durable and sculptural

✔ Produces clusters of waxy, scented flowers in the right conditions

✔ Rare and highly sought-after by collectors

✔ Ideal for trailing displays or climbing with support

Care Instructions:

Light: Thrives in bright, indirect light – morning sun helps deepen the leaf markings

Watering: Allow the top half of the soil to dry between waterings – avoid overwatering

Humidity: Prefers moderate to high humidity – mist occasionally or use a pebble tray

Soil: Use a chunky, well-draining mix (orchid bark + perlite + potting mix)

Feeding: Feed every 4–6 weeks in spring/summer with a balanced or bloom-boosting feed

Temperature: Best in 18–26°C – keep above 12°C and away from cold drafts

Growth: Moderate – can trail or climb over time with the right support

🌿 Tip: For best flowering, keep slightly rootbound and stable – Hoyas don’t like frequent repotting or being moved when in bud.
