Hoya griffithii (dark)

Origin and Description:Hoya aff. griffithii (Dark Clone) is a striking variation of the original Hoya griffithii, first described by Joseph Dalton Hooker in 1883 in Flora of British India. This particular clone is known for its noticeably darker foliage, which can range from deep green to nearly black, especially under certain lighting conditions. The plant still produces the signature creamy white flowers with pink or red centers in umbels, typical of Hoya griffithii, but the dramatic contrast between the dark leaves and the light flowers sets this clone apart. Natural Habitat:Like other clones of Hoya griffithii, the dark clone originates from subtropical rainforests in regions like Yunnan, China, where it thrives as an epiphyte in humid and shaded environments. The dark leaf pigmentation is believed to be an adaptation to the plant's natural habitat, providing additional protection from sunlight. Care Instructions: Light: Prefers bright, indirect light. In lower light conditions,
