Hoya Parasitica ‘Black Margin’ - 4" pot

🌿 Meet the Hoya Parasitica ‘Black Margin’

The Hoya Parasitica ‘Black Margin’ is a striking Hoya loved for its thick green foliage outlined by a distinctive dark margin when it's sunstressed. 🌿🖤

That contrasting edge gives each leaf a beautifully defined appearance and makes Black Margin stand out even among a collection full of Hoyas. Under good growing conditions, the dark edging can become especially eye-catching.

And the foliage isn't the whole story. As the plant matures, it can produce beautiful clusters of classic star-shaped Hoya flowers, giving you another reason to look forward to each new stage of growth.

🌿 Plant Care

Give your Hoya Parasitica ‘Black Margin’ plenty of bright, indirect light. Good lighting supports healthy growth and can help bring out the beautiful contrast along the edges of the foliage.

Allow the growing medium to partially dry between waterings. Hoyas prefer an airy, well-draining mix and generally don't appreciate remaining consistently wet.

Average household humidity is typically suitable, although moderate humidity can encourage healthy growth.

Allow the vines to trail naturally or provide a trellis or other support if you'd like to encourage climbing growth.

Once your Hoya begins blooming, don't remove the old flower spurs (peduncles) after the flowers fade. Hoyas can produce new blooms from those same peduncles in the future.

📦 Shipping & Live Plant Information

Your plant will be carefully packed to help protect it during its journey to you.

Because plants are living things, the plant you receive will not be identical to the plants pictured. Natural differences in size, fullness, leaf shape, coloring, and growth are part of what makes every plant unique.

The intensity of the dark leaf margins may naturally vary depending on the individual plant, leaf maturity, and growing conditions. The photos represent the general appearance of this variety rather than the exact plant you will receive.

Minor cosmetic imperfections or temporary shipping stress can occur during transit. Give your new plant time to acclimate to its new environment after arrival.
