Hoya Callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ – Dark-Veined Callistophylla with Striking Cat-Like Markings

Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ is a highly sought-after form of Hoya callistophylla, famous for its very dark, almost black venation that looks like bold ink lines across the leaf surface. The dramatic patterning gives this form its name ‘Black Cat’, evoking sleek, dark markings on rich green foliage.

The leaves are typically thick, elongated, and leathery, developing even stronger contrast under bright filtered light. Each leaf looks artistically etched, making this plant one of the most ornamental foliage Hoyas you can display in a cabinet or on a trellised setup.

While it can bloom with typical callistophylla-style clustered star-shaped flowers when mature, most collectors grow Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ primarily for its graphic venation and premium collector value. It appreciates warmth, humidity, and an airy substrate to develop large, high-contrast leaves.

Why collectors love this plant:

• Extreme near-black venation

• Thick, leathery leaves with bold contrast

• Striking “Black Cat” named form

• Excellent statement plant for rare Hoya collections

Care overview:

• Bright indirect light or gentle grow light to enhance venation

• Airy, fast-draining substrate

• Allow partial drying between watering

• Prefers warmth, humidity, and good airflow
