Hoya 'Black Margin'

Black Margin Hoya 🌿✨ is loved for its glossy oval leaves edged in deep green to nearly black, often with subtle silver splash that gives the foliage extra contrast and a polished tropical look. It does best in bright indirect light indoors, where the dark margins show best and the vines can spill from a shelf or hanging planter while maturing into a beautiful blooming plant. This is a beginner-friendly hoya that likes to dry a bit between waterings and does not need constant fussing. Pro tip: give it strong light and avoid overwatering 💧, because brighter light brings out better leaf color and soggy soil is the fastest way to make it unhappy.
