The 'Black Cat' is a distinct cultivar of Hoya Callistophylla, popular for its pronounced green-black venation. The contrast of bright green leaves and almost black markings, makes this plant a striking addition to any collection, especially those who enjoy plants which look reptilian, prehistoric or gothic. This Hoya scratches all of those itches and more, producing white star-shaped flowers which have a herbal scent.

Native to South East Asia, this Hoya is a trailing epiphyte which would be happy growing both up a trellis, or trailing from a hanging pot. Hoyas love high humidity, well-draining soil, and lots of bright light. Make sure not to overwater as these plants can rot easily if sat in water too long. We find a thorough watering when the pot is halfway dry is the best way to avoid this.
