Variant

Hoya Parasitica Black Margin, also known as Black Margin Hoya, features ovate, succulent green leaves that are edged with a striking dark, almost black margin, giving it a distinctive and dramatic appearance. The leaves are thick, waxy, and textured like crocodile skin, adding to the plant's overall aesthetic appeal. Like many Hoyas, it produces clusters of white star-shaped flowers with pink centres and appears in large clusters that are fragrant and attractive, though the 'Black Margin' is particularly sought after for its ornamental leaves. This variety is perfect for indoor gardeners looking to add a touch of exotic flair to their collection.

What to expect

The plant comes with a default nursery pot. The nursery pot is usually 0.5" - 1" smaller than stated to fit into the same size decorative pot. Washable Paper Planter Bags are sold separately.

As with all living things, no two plants are alike. There is some natural variation in size, shape, and characteristics. We make every effort to bring you a plant that as closely as possible matches the plant as it appears on our website, in the size you have chosen, and have a good potential to happily grow in your home.

Care Guide

How to take care of Hoya Parasitica Black Margin

Sun: Indirect

Hoya Parasitica Black Margin should not be in a position to see the sun directly, although early morning or late evening sun is fine. Filtered sunlight through a sheer curtain is best and most homes are comprised primarily of indirect sunlight. The best spot for them is where they do not see the sun during the majority of the day but still get bright, indirect light.

Light: Bright

Hoya Parasitica Black Margin will do best in bright light. A nice bright place inside your home would be on the window sill or a stool that is right next to a window, either with or without blinds, depending on if the plant can handle sun. Remember that plants will grow based on how much light they receive.

Water: When half dry

Hoya Parasitica Black Margin needs to be watered when the top half of the soil is dry to the touch. That usually takes about 1 week in an average home environment. It will vary depending on the time of year, your environment and lighting conditions, but it's always safer to underwater or give the soil a check before you water again. Expect to water more often in brighter light and less often in lower light.

Humidity: Medium

Hoya Parasitica Black Margin will do well in average humidity environments but will appreciate a little bit of humidity if provided, give them a mist daily or get a humidifier.

Pet Friendly

You can feel comfortable having Hoya Parasitica Black Margin around your home in the potential case where your pet feels like nibbling on it. However, we typically recommend keeping your pets from eating any of your houseplants.

Plant Story

Introducing the Hoya Parasitica Black Margin, a captivating and elegant houseplant that adds a touch of sophisticated beauty to your indoor garden while symbolizing resilience, the allure of uniqueness, and the delicate balance of nature.

The Hoya Parasitica Black Margin, a variant within the diverse Hoya family, is prized for its stunning foliage. Each leaf is thick and waxy, primarily deep green in colour, edged with a striking black or very dark maroon margin that seems almost painted on. This dramatic contrast in colors gives the plant a bold, yet refined appearance, making it a standout addition to any collection of indoor plants.

To care for your Hoya Parasitica Black Margin, provide it with bright, indirect light. The plant thrives in well-lit conditions where it can receive plenty of light without being exposed to the harsh direct sun, which might scorch its delicate leaves. The need for indirect light highlights the importance of optimal growing conditions that nurture without overwhelming.

Watering the Hoya Parasitica Black Margin should be done with moderation. Allow the soil to dry out somewhat between waterings. Overwatering can lead to root rot, which Hoyas are particularly susceptible to. This watering approach teaches the value of moderation and attentiveness—providing necessary resources while respecting natural limits.

Hoyas are also celebrated for their beautiful and sometimes fragrant flowers. The Hoya Parasitica Black Margin occasionally produces clusters of small, star-shaped flowers, enhancing its decorative appeal and testifying to its health and vitality when properly cared for.

As your Hoya Parasitica Black Margin matures, it not only decorates your space but also becomes a symbol of the beauty that thrives in diversity and the strength found in subtle elegance. It's a living testament to the joys of cultivating something truly unique and the visual poetry of nature's designs.

Welcome the Hoya Parasitica Black Margin into your home, and let it be an emblem of nature's intricate beauty, the resilience embedded in adaptability, and the captivating allure of nurturing a rare piece of the natural world. It's not just a plant; it's a celebration of the rich tapestry of life that flourishes under thoughtful care.
