Hoya lacunosa ‘Black Aurora’ is a rare and dramatic form of Hoya lacunosa, cherished for its dark foliage tones that can develop into deep burgundy to nearly black under stronger light. This striking coloration, combined with the compact lacunosa growth habit, makes it a standout plant in any collection.

The leaves are typically small, thick, and slightly cupped, with close node spacing creating dense, bushy vines. Under bright filtered light or gentle sun-stress, the foliage shifts from green to wine red, purple, or almost black, giving the impression of a dark aurora shimmer.

Like other lacunosa types, mature plants can produce clusters of fuzzy white flowers with a sweet, cinnamon-like fragrance — a perfect contrast against the dark foliage. However, most collectors prize Hoya lacunosa ‘Black Aurora’ mainly for its unique dark leaf coloration.

Why collectors love this plant:

  • Rare dark-foliage lacunosa form

  • Leaves turn burgundy to nearly black in strong light

  • Compact, trailing growth habit

  • Fragrant white blooms when mature
