Hoya krohniana 'Black' – Rare wax plant

Hoya krohniana 'Black' is a rare and sought-after hoya variety, prized for its unique foliage. Its small, heart-shaped leaves take on a dark green, almost black hue, creating a striking and elegant contrast. This wax plant, native to Southeast Asia, is perfect for collectors or to add a sophisticated touch to any houseplant collection.

When properly established, it produces charming little white star-shaped flowers with a delicate fragrance, typical of hoyas. Climbing or trailing depending on the support, it adapts perfectly to hanging baskets, trellises or decorative pots. Easy to care for, it likes bright, indirect light and will delight enthusiasts and beginners alike.

Care :

• Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Avoid direct, burning sun.

• Watering: Water moderately, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings. Reduce in winter.

• Humidity: Enjoys a slightly humid atmosphere, but tolerates the ambient air of a house.

• Temperature: Between 18 and 26°C, avoid temperatures below 15°C.

• Substrate: Light, well-drained mix (ideally a substrate for hoyas or orchids).

• Fertilization: Add a balanced fertilizer every 4 weeks during growth (spring/summer).

• Special care: Do not prune stems bearing old flowers, as they often re-bloom in the same place.
