Hoya Verticillata 'Black Margin', Waxflower, Live Houseplant, Indoor Plant, Flowering Plant

Botanical Name: Hoya verticillata

Common Name(s): Hoya, Wax plant

Description: Hoya Black Margin is a beautiful plant with teardrop-shaped green leaves with dark purple-black edges. These edges become darker as the plant matures and with exposure to more light. Warm, humid conditions with bright light will encourage the growth of waxy, fragrant flowers. This vining plant looks great hanging over the edges of a pot.

Care: This succulent-like plant has thick, waxy leaves that make it low maintenance. Use a well-draining aroid potting mix and wait until the top two inches of soil are dry before watering. Give this plant plenty of bright indirect light but avoid harsh direct sunlight to prevent scorching the leaves. Use a plant food diluted to half the listed strength.
