A striking cultivar of the classic Hoya verticillata, ‘Black Margin’ features glossy green leaves distinctively edged with dark, near-black borders. Under bright light, the contrast deepens, creating a bold and modern look. The plant forms a lush, compact vine—ideal for hanging baskets, trellises, or decorative displays.
🌸 Flowers
Produces clusters of tiny star-shaped flowers, generally creamy-white to pale pink with a contrasting maroon center.
Each bloom is about 5–8 mm across, forming dense umbels of 10–20 flowers.
Flowers are lightly to moderately fragrant, filling nearby spaces with a sweet scent.
Mature plants often rebloom from the same flower stems—avoid removing old peduncles to encourage repeat blooms in later seasons.
🌞 Care Guide
| Requirement | Recommendation |
|---|---|
| Light | Bright, indirect light. A few hours of gentle morning or evening sun enhance leaf contrast. |
| Watering | Allow the top 2–3 cm of soil to dry before re-watering; do not let the plant sit in water. |
| Soil | Use a chunky, fast-draining mix like orchid bark or perlite with coco coir. |
| Humidity | Prefers 50–70% humidity, though it adapts well to typical indoor levels. |
| Temperature | Ideal indoor range: 16–28 °C (60–82 °F). Protect from cold drafts. |
| Bloom Care | Leave old peduncles in place—they often bloom again from the same spot. |
