Hoya krohniana 'Black Leaves' - cultivar of Hoya krohniana with dark colored leaves, almost black when exposed to strong light.
Hoya krohniana - a species that stands out for its shiny and structured leaves, heart-shaped, with silver splash. The flowers are creamy white, fluffy and strongly scented, being almost similar to those of Hoya lacunosa.
Like Hoya lacunosa, krohniana tends to bloom constantly throughout the warm season. The flowers have a lifespan of 4-7 days, depending on the growing conditions.
Hoya krohniana was published in 2009 as a distinct species, before this date it was known and marketed as Hoya lacunosa 'Heart Leaf'. The new leaves are heart-shaped, but as the plant matures, a certain variability appears, some of them changing their shape.
The foliage acquires a very pleasant appearance, with garnet - almost black colors, when the plant is grown in strong light. Good light also favors abundant flowering.
Pot diameter: 6 cm
