Hoya callistophylla IML 3576 ‘Black Cat’ – rare climber with bold veining

Hoya callistophylla IML 3576 ‘Black Cat’ is a rare and highly desirable clone celebrated for bold, dark-green leaves with deep, embossed veins and clusters of sweetly scented, star-shaped flowers. Originating from the humid lowland forests of Sabah, Borneo, this vigorous climbing species thrives indoors with steady warmth, bright light, and patient care. For collectors seeking both foliage drama and reliable flowering, ‘Black Cat’ is a true standout.

What makes Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ unique

  • Distinctive veining: Broad, leathery leaves with striking dark, recessed veins that intensify with age.
  • Vigorous climber: Rapid-growing, semi-woody vines ideal for moss poles, trellises, or hanging baskets.
  • Scented umbels: Clusters of pale yellow to greenish blooms releasing a gentle, sweet fragrance.
  • Adaptable indoors: Handles typical indoor humidity and bright, filtered light with ease.

Essential facts about Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’

  • Origin: Lowland forests of Sabah, Borneo.
  • Growth form: Epiphytic climber with trailing or twining vines.
  • Leaf size: Mature leaves can exceed 20 cm under ideal conditions.
  • Toxicity: Generally considered non-toxic to humans; milky latex may irritate skin or sensitive pets if ingested or chewed.

Care guide for Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’

  • Light: Prefers bright, indirect light; avoid harsh midday sun that can scorch foliage.
  • Water: Let the top 2–3 cm of substrate dry before watering again. Overwatering is the most common cause of root issues.
  • Humidity: Ideal above 60 %, but tolerates down to about 45 % if airflow is good.
  • Temperature: Best between 18–28 °C; protect from cold drafts and sudden drops.
  • Substrate: Loose, airy mix such as orchid bark, perlite, coco coir, and a small portion of compost or humus.
  • Fertiliser: Use a balanced liquid fertiliser at half strength every 4–6 weeks during active growth.
  • Propagation: Stem cuttings root easily in water, perlite, or sphagnum moss under warm, humid conditions.
  • Pruning: Trim long vines to shape and encourage branching; avoid cutting peduncles, as blooms arise from older spurs.

Troubleshooting tips for Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’

  • Yellowing leaves: Most often caused by excess watering – let the mix dry further and check drainage.
  • Curling or speckled leaves: Inspect for spider mites or mealybugs and adjust humidity and airflow.
  • No flowers yet: Keep the plant slightly root-bound and provide consistent bright light; flowering increases with maturity.

Extra growing advice for Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’

To echo its native habitat, give Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’ stable warmth, bright filtered light, and time to fill its pot before repotting. Flowering improves as the plant matures, so avoid frequent disturbances or unnecessary pruning. With patient, consistent care, ‘Black Cat’ develops into a statement plant that rewards you with lush veined foliage and sweetly perfumed umbels.

Botanical background and etymology of Hoya callistophylla ‘Black Cat’

Hoya callistophylla was first described by T. Green in Fraterna 13(4): 2 (2000) and belongs to the family Apocynaceae. The name comes from Greek: kallos (“beautiful”) and phylla (“leaf”), directly referencing its striking foliage.

Clone IML 3576 was collected in Sabah, Borneo, by David Liddle and is distinguished by darker pigmentation and more dramatic venation compared to typical forms. The name ‘Black Cat’ is an informal collector’s name for this particularly dark-veined clone.

Bring a touch of Sabah’s rainforest elegance into your home and enjoy the combination of bold veined foliage and sweet, starry blooms for years to come.

Fantastic soap for the dermatitis and eczema prone
You guyyyyysss, my hands have no dry, itchy spots right now. None. This is remarkable because before now I have for years had issues with eczema/contact dermatitis patches that have at times (aka: most times) been pretty unbearable. To say that I’m overjoyed to have found a natural soap that truly works for me is an understatement. When you use this, you can feel that it’s moisturizing your skin. It’s fantastic. If you haven’t tried it, do yourself a favor and get yourself a bar. I’m wondering now if I can use it on my entire body and to wash my hair. That’s probably a little overboard, but it’s that good and now that I’ve used it I suspect all my skin problems are contact dermatitis that could be solved by the right soap/shampoo.

Best I’ve found yet for facial psoriasis
Anyone who has facial psoriasis will tell you there are not a lot of products that you can put on your face without irritation or flareups. This soap is just what I needed. There are no irritating chemicals or perfumes in this soap. I have read other reviews that the soap does not last very long but there is a way to use it to make it last. First, I wet my face and then I wet my fingertips and rub my finger tips across the dry bar of soap and then lightly rub my face with my fingertips softening the plaques and then lightly wash with a soft cotton washcloth. It is not really moisturizing but not over drying either. I follow up with an organic vegetable-based glycerin oil to moisturize. This is the best product I have found yet.

Heals skin
It definitely dries out your skin quickly but I do recommend moisture so the skin won’t crack or you get open cuts as your dermatitis is healing. I have dermatitis really bad where my skin drys and hurts when I have a cut, So far it’s working as intended.
