🖤 The secret of the black magic is unveiled: a black plant that thrives in neglect

  • ▪️This isn't just a houseplant - it's a living spell. The black ZZ plant (Zamioculcas x Black Dragon) is as mysterious as it is mesmerizing, with leaves so dark they look dipped in ink. Forget green - it's all about black - a rare, glossy marvel for collectors who crave the bold and unusual.

  • ▪️ New leaves start green... but don't be fooled. With time, they turn rich, velvety black - a transformation worthy of legend.

  • ▪️ It's not just a pretty face. Unlike any ordinary plant, this one survives on neglect. Forget to water? It won't blink. It stores water in its thick rhizomes like an ancient desert dweller, making it one of the toughest houseplants out there.

  • ▪️ It even shares a trick with ancient relics like Gonatopus - a rare power in the plant world. It's got ancient roots - literally. Its oddball talent of dropping leaflets that sprout into baby plants makes it one of the few plants in the world that can clone itself this way!

A Plumeria you can train to climb? Fragrance on the fence - the climbing Frangipani. A Top Tropicals Garden Blog post.

Chonemorpha fragrans - Frangipani vine

💮 A Plumeria you can train to climb? Fragrance on the fence - the climbing Frangipani...
  • 💮 Twelve-inch leaves and a perfume cloud? Yes, it's real. Chonemorpha fragrans, or Frangipani vine, is a large woody tropical liana with clusters of large, perfume-fragrant flowers and lush green foliage. It is close related to perfumed Plumeria - Frangipani.
  • 💮 Chonemorpha fragrans, the stunning Frangipani vine is a classic tropical woody climber, Plumeria's wilder cousin, bursting with huge, lush leaves (up to 12 inches long!) and clusters of intensely fragrant, creamy white flowers that smell just like your favorite Plumeria.
  • 💮 Unlike its tree-form relative, this beauty grows as a vine and needs a strong support to climb - think fence, trellis, or pergola.
  • 💮 Plant it in full sun for the best bloom show, though it's happy in partial shade too.
  • 💮 With the right care and some fertilizer, it will turn your garden into a fragrant paradise and stop guests in their tracks. Plant it by your sitting area, and enjoy nature's own perfume drifting in the breeze!
