Hoya khroniana 'Black'

hoya black

Also known as: Black Hoya, Wax Plant, Porcelain Flower

Hoya Black is a striking tropical houseplant known for its thick, glossy leaves in deep green tones that can appear almost black in the right light. Its dark foliage gives this Hoya plant a dramatic look while its trailing growth makes it especially beautiful in hanging baskets, plant shelves, and bright indoor spaces. Hoya Black grows best in bright indirect light and prefers to dry slightly between waterings. With the right conditions, mature plants can also produce clusters of small, fragrant, star shaped flowers that add even more interest to this unique houseplant.

care

Place in a warm, bright spot with indirect light and keep away from cold drafts.
