Saw this hoya on a discount rack and couldn’t pass it up. Love the leaves! 🤩 Question, how can you tell if it’s a hoya callistophylla vs a hoya callistophylla ‘black cat’?

    Hoya callistophylla 'Black Cat' is identified by its intense "vein bleeding" effect, where deep black or dark green veins appear to bleed into the surrounding light-green leaf tissue, creating a dramatic, ink-like blotching effect. This cultivar, a variation of the Hoya callistophylla species, features more dramatic dark venation, narrow leaves, and thicker, more pronounced dark margins.
