Hoya Calystophylla ‘Black Cat’ – Rare Dark-Veined Calystophylla with Bold Contrasting Foliage

Hoya calystophylla ‘Black Cat’ is a highly sought-after collector form of Hoya calystophylla, famous for its exceptionally dark venation that can appear almost black against the lighter green leaf surface. This dramatic contrast gives the foliage a striking, etched look that immediately stands out in any Hoya collection.

Leaves are typically elongated, thick, and leathery, with the veins deeply impressed into the leaf surface, adding texture as well as color contrast. Under bright filtered light, the dark venation becomes even stronger, and mature leaves can reach impressive sizes, making this plant a true statement piece.

Growth is climbing to semi-scandent, perfect for trellises, poles, or mounted displays. While it may produce clusters of star-shaped flowers when mature, Hoya calystophylla ‘Black Cat’ is mainly collected for its ornamental foliage and the uniquely dark vein pattern characteristic of this form.
