Bring bold texture and contrast to your plant collection with the striking Hoya Parasitica ‘Black Margin’. This beautiful wax plant is known for its thick, glossy, deep-green leaves, each outlined with a dramatic dark—almost black—margin. The crisp edging gives it a uniquely sculptural look that stands out among other Hoyas.
Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. Gentle morning sun can enhance the dark margins.
Water: Allow the top portion of the soil to dry between waterings. This Hoya dislikes being overwatered.
Soil: Use a well-draining mix with plenty of aeration (e.g., orchid bark, perlite, coco coir).
Humidity: Enjoys moderate to higher humidity but adapts to normal household conditions.
Temperature: Thrives in warm indoor temperatures and should be protected from cold drafts.
Feeding: Light feeding during spring and summer encourages strong growth.
